If your child comes to a word that he/she doesn’t know, here are some strategies to try:
"What does it sound like?" Ask your child to say the sounds and then blend them together to decode the word.
"Do I know part of the word?" Look for parts that your child may already know. For example, in the word pin, he/she might know the word in. Then all your child has to do is add the /p/ sound.
"Look for clues on the page." Ask your child to look at the picture to see if that can help him/her figure out the word.
"Jump over it, then go back and reread it." Tell your child to skip it and then after he/she reads the rest of the sentence, ask your child what would make sense in that spot?
"Ask for help." Finally, if your child is still having problems, you can tell him/her the word as we don’t want your child to get frustrated! Even adults ask for help when they feel stuck. It's okay to help as long as your child doesn't overuse this strategy.
