______Sight word sentence writing
What do I do when I come to a word I do not understand?
1. Check the picture. Look at the first letter. Get your mouth ready with the first
sound.
2. Read on or go back.
3. Tap and zip short words. Stretch out the sounds in longer words.
4. Look for word chunks (parts of words…th, ch, ing, an, it etc.).
5. Ask: does this word look right, sound right, and make sense?
Ways to Increase comprehension as your child reads:
1. Take a “picture walk” before you start reading.
2. Stop as you read and ask who or what just happened in the story
3. Retell the story: Who is in the story (characters)?
4. Retell the story: Where does the story take place (setting)?
5. Retell the Story: What events happened in order?
6. What is your favorite part and why?
