What is it you were telling me about how to figure out words? You don't know
I was telling you exactly what Mrs. Framish said reading class last week
Today we're going to learn what to do when we read words that we don't know
Sometimes those words are new to us. We've never heard them before
Other times we know what a word sounds like but not what it looks like
Let's see if there's a word like that on the board
Angie will you read for us?
Hands on Greta were locked in a candy cage. It's long thin bars were made of
why
week
like
I don't know that word. Does anyone recognize that word?
No
Let's continue reading
Let's see if we can find some clues that will help us as to what it means
Some were black and some were red. They all tasted sweet and delicious
Good Angie. That was very good work. Now. Let's go back to that word. We didn't know
Let's be word detectives
That clues can we find to help us figure out what that word means?
Norbert
It says that Hansel and Greta were put in a candy cage and that what is about the bars in the cage
So it must be some sort of candy
Very good detective Norbert
Can you tell us how you knew that the sentence about the bars was about the bars in the candy cage?
Because of the word it's that refers to the candy cage in the first sentence good work
You found an important clue
Has anyone else found any more clues that will help us figure out our mystery word Jason
Well, it says that the bars were long and thin and some were black and some are red
So it must be a long thing candy. Let's block a red another important clue
Angie, it's something that tastes as sweet and delicious to
What clue tells you that Angie in the last sentence?
It says that they all tasted sweet and delicious the word they is about the bars
Good work all of you
Now let's go back to that word and let's think about all of our clues. It's a candy
It can be black or red and it tastes sweet and delicious
Jason why don't you try for us black cork a little slower
like
Cork ice
Good, that's the way it looks
Now try it again and this time use short vowel sounds instead of long ones
Look core is a long
Thin candy that can be either black or red
Look course
Licorice good. Yes. I'll bet you all know what licorice is. Don't you you just didn't know what it looked like
Let's go back and reread the passage now
Angie will you read for us?
Hansel and grada were locked in a candy cake. It's long thin bars were made of licorice
Some were black and some were red. They all tasted sweet and delicious now. I understand it
Remember when you read a word you don't know you need to be a word detective
Try to figure out what it means
Look for clues in the sentences around the word
Try saying it in different ways until it sounds like a real word until it makes sense to you
You may discover. It's a word you already know like licorice
If you're a good word detective, you'll be a good reader
Now take your reading books out
We'll practice what we just learned
Turn to page 31
Let's see if you're good word detectives
You're good word detective. They'll be good readers. So let's check the snow for clues
Oh

Well, where are my flowers or couldn't you understand my notes?
No, I couldn't. Oh, no, what a pity
That is until these two showed up I beg your pardon
You're a dandelion
But
But how did you figure out the word? I knew you'd never seen it
Well, when I realized I didn't know it I read on it and looked for clues that would help me understand it
Then I tried to figure out how to say the word remembering the clues and I got it
Thanks to you too
You too
I've had just about enough of you two
Mandy, I think we'd better be going. I hope you're not allergic to dandelions
