When your child gets stuck on a word

1. Look for parts you know.
2. Sound it out: say each sound, left to right, then say the word fast.
3. Check it. Is it a real word? Does it make sense? Then check the picture.

If it is a word that cannot be sounded out, like the or said, just tell them the word and have them say it, then reread the sentence.
