WILD READING HELPERS

If you ever get stuck on a word, 

Just ask our Wild Reading Helpers for an idea!

Geoffrey Giraffe says, "Check out the illustrations and look for picture clues."

Polly Parrot says, "Say the first sound of the new word."

Stretchy Snake says, "Stretch the word out slowly and then put the sounds back together."

Chunky Monkey says, "Look for chunks or word parts you already know." (-at, -er, -ing)

Hoppy Hippo says, "Skip the word you don't know, read to the end of the sentence, and then hop back and read it."

Tryin' Lion says, "Try the other vowel sound if the word doesn't sound right."

Zippy Zebra says, "After you have tried everything else, zip on over and ask Ms. Leist for help."
