I've posted an explanation of our Decoding strategies for reading on the "Reading Support" page. Check it out. We've come a long way in teaching how to read words from when I was in school. I still remember my Grade one teacher preaching "sound it out" when I came to the word "fright." Tell me, does that make any sense at all? We have a whole bunch of strategies we teach now -- no more sound it out or forget it.....
Check out the Strategy poster and explanation on the Reading Support page.
