How I Could Use It
|
Word Identification Strategy
|
DISSECT: discover the context; isolate the prefix; separate the suffix; say the stem; examine the word; check with someone; try the dictionary. Uses context clues and breaks down words.
|
This could be useful for teaching students how to discover approximate meaning of a word they do not know in a text without needing to immediately look to an outside source.
|
Word Identification Strategy Training (WIST)
|
This isn’t actually a strategy, but a compilation of strategies that can be used. See below.
| |
Word Identification by Analogy
|
Students compare unfamiliar words with known words by rhyming, pattern, etc.
Ex: kick and her to decode bicker
| |
Vowel Variations
|
students learn that vowels have different sounds; go through different vowel sounds for words to see if they can say one that is familiar and identified
| |
Seek the Part Your Know (SPY)
|
Students look for small, known words in larger words. Ex: abundance contains bun and dan
| |
Peeling Off
|
students get rid of prefixes and suffixes and decode the base word using another strategy
