How
to figure out hard words
-
See if there is any part of the word that you can say.
-
Say the part of the word you know. Then
say the rest of the word.
-
Ask: “Is the word I said a
real word? Does it make sense here?”
-
Is the word like any word you know?
-
Say the
word again. Is it a real word? Does
it make sense?
-
If you can’t pronounce any part of the word or nothing sounds familiar,
say “blank” for the word. Read to the end of the sentence.
Ask: “What word would make sense here?”
ex.
regulatory - (looks
like regular)
pedestrian -
(think where you have seen this sign, break it into
parts)
warranty -
(break into war, ran, ty then think where you have
heard the word)
endorphins
- (rhymes with dolphins)
