First, sound it out Then soy it to yourself It might sound like 0 word you know Sometimes you know 0 word in your heod without knowing whot it looks like in print So if you motch up whot you know ond whot you reod- you hove the word!
Trang 6If the word shelter doesn't look fomilior, look ot the words oround it
Rain ond under the porch might give you 0 clue You might even do
o Think-Aloud:
I know that if you don γ want to get wet outside when it rains, you
need to get under something.ln this sentence, the dog went
under the porch to stay dry $0 shelter must mean "something
that protects you.ι Yes, that makes sense in this sentence
Use Word Parts
If the context doesn• help, look ot the ports of the word Does it hove
ony ports you know? These con help you figure out whot it meons
Reod this sentence:
The miners put on their hard hats before going to work
If you don't know the meoning of miner, try looking ot ports of the
word You might know thot 0 mine is 0 ploce underground where
people get cool ond other voluoble things A lot of times, -er ot the
end of 0 word meons " 0 person who does something." For exomple,
o teacher teoches in 0 school So 0 miner might be someone who
works in 0 mine You would put on 0 hord hot if you were going into 0
mine Thot meoning of miner mokes sense
Look It Up
If soying the word or using context ond word ports don't work, you
con look it up You con find the word in 0 dictionory-either 0 book or
online-or 0 glossory
Nobody knows the meoning of every word, but good reoders know
how to figure out words they don't know
