Reading strategies

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.
