Reading Strategies



Today we practised a new reading strategy called "Blend sounds; Stretch and reread". When we come to a word that we cannot read we can try to take the sounds and blend them together. We take an elastic band and pull the band apart a bit with each sound in the word, stretching out both the band and the word. When we have said each sound and the band is tight we move our hands and the band quickly back together and say the word at the same time, blending the sounds together.
