Reading Strategies Mini-Lessons

Four (4) lessons teach various reading strategies to help new or struggling readers read.

1. Read the Pictures: Students learn to look at pictures for clues for new or missing words.
2. Sound it Out: Students learn to use letter sounds to sound out new words, pay special attention to the first and last letter sounds.
3. Word Families: Students learn to look for familiar parts in words to read new words.
4. Other Words: Students learn to use other words in the sentence as the context for figuring out a new or missing word.

Lessons are created for distance learning, but would also be a fun and engaging way to use technology to enhance lessons in the traditional classroom using an interactive whiteboard.
