Reading Strategies

Reading can be very fun.

Sometimes reading can be tricky.

When you get to a tricky word, remember the helping hand to help you figure it out.

Try looking at the picture for clues.

Go back and read the sentence again.

Get your mouth ready to say the first sound in the word.

Look for chunks inside the tricky word that you already know.

Listen to yourself read, does it make sense?

Using the helping hand will help you to become a great reader!
