We are celebrating our independence in reading with fireworks! Our second graders have brainstormed some ways to independently figure out "tricky words". We hope these are helpful for you!

Tricky Words

Get your mouth ready

Go back and try again

Take off the ending

Check for a compound word

Read ahead and go back

Slow down

Think about what makes sense

Think of another word that has the same part

Look for the part I know

Try the other sound of the vowel
