In Miss Colaccino's Second Grade Class we have been working on strategies we can use when we come across tricky words while reading. We have learned strategies such as breaking apart the tricky words letter by letter, looking for vowel teams we know, looking for words that we know inside of the tricky word, and we have also been using what is happening at that moment in the story to think about what that tricky word could be. We have spent some time reading, stopping and jotting on sticky notes, and also sharing out the tricky words we found and what strategies we used to decode the word. We are also working on building our independent reading stamina. We are growing so much as readers and learning so many new skills!
