Name & model that strategy, give them opportunities to practice that strategy, and then prompt them for that strategy while they read. Same prompts may include "What parts do you know?" "Run your finger underneath that word"

Vocabulary
Vocabulary
Vocabulary is an important issue for some transitional readers and for most fluent readers. They have the skills needed to decode the words, but may not be able to define them. If this is affecting your student, you would want to teach them strategies to define unknown words. Sample prompts might be "Are there any clues in the sentence?" "Can the illustration help you?" "Can you think of a different word that would make sense in this sentence?"
