Reading Buddies

Today we read our books to our reading buddies.  We need to work very hard on our reading so that we get better and better.  We are learning to use good fix up strategies to solve tricky words.  We know that reading is about looking and thinking.  When we come to a tricky word we can do these things.

1. Re-read to help us think about the word.
2. Read on to the full stop and think about what would sound right and look right.
3. Look at the first and last sound and parts of the word we do know and think.
4. Try the word to see if it makes sense.
