Before you start reading, tell your child to look at the pictures in the

book and predict what will happen in the story. Tell your child to skip the

word and read a few more sentences. Then tell your child to go back to the

difficult word to try to figure it out again. This strategy teaches students

to use context to read unfamiliar words.

I guess I am confused on why if the passage I read for them to predict the

story, then read the words that they know and then go back to read the words

they don't know.  Either that are call it sleep deprievation.  I have insomnia

and have been up the last 3 nights and then last night spent at the ER with my

son.

If this truly was the statement it is how years ago I was taught! If not I

apoligize for my email in advance.

When the kids take TAKs test or any other type of state testing they are told to

go and do the problems etc that they do know, then go back to the ones they

think they know but to rework the problem, reread the question and then go back

to the ones they didn't know.

I watched as my daughter did some practice testing type worksheets.  Now mind

you she does not have any disabilities, they are taught to read the questions. 

Then to look at the answers and figure out what ones definitely don't fit with

the question. From there they can figure out the answer.

Like I said I was taught this way and I read above average in school.  My

dauther at the age of 5 read at at 4th grade level and even though my son has

asperger's he and is in the 5th grade he reads at an 8th grade level.  They were

all taught this way.

When we lived in IL the kids had reading buddies and they read with them the say

way as well as when we were in AZ.

So I guess I don't agree with that is the reason kids don't read well.
