Editor's Notes
- #7 Discuss: What did you do when you came to unfamiliar words? The unknown words didn’t likely trigger meaning, so they probably stalled your reading and as a result, your ability to make sense of what you were reading. Can you pronounce the unknown words? In order to become fluent readers who can spend most of your cognitive energy on thinking about meaning, rather than decoding words, it is necessary to be able to immediately recognize the most frequently occurring words such as HAVE, OF, THE, ON, WAS, etc. AND they need to know how to decode/figure out words they don’t know.
