Reading New Words

Start-Up Activity

Display the following sentences for students. Provide time for them to attempt to read the sentences aloud.

  • The clumsy cat tumbled off the countertop.
  • He popped back up without injury.
  • Jill giggled at the humorous creature.

If any students had trouble pronouncing the underlined words, tell them they are about to learn ways to read and understand difficult words. Then review the first strategy: Listen for sounds. Have a volunteer read aloud two of the underlined words little by little.

—Ernest Hemingway
