My name is _____________________ and I was reading _________________________________. As I was reading, I found three words that I don’t know, YET. I used 3 different reading strategies.
Word #1 = ____________________________________
Strategy #1 = Analyze the word’s part of speech
Circle which part of speech the unknown word is and answer the questions that correspond to that part of speech.
a. Verb = What action is it performing? Who/what is performing this action? What is receiving the action of this verb?
b. Noun = Is it singular or plural? Is it a common or proper noun? Is it concrete or abstract? What words describe this noun from the sentence?
c. Adjective = What noun is it describing? What another adjectives describe this same noun?
d. Adverb = Does it end in “-ly”? What action verb is it describing?
My best guess for the word based on this strategy is…
Word #2 = ____________________________________
Strategy #2 = Break the word down into parts
1) Does it have a prefix? What is the prefix? What does that prefix mean?
2) Does it have a suffix? What is the suffix? What does that suffix mean for the word?
3) Does the root word look like a word that I already know? What does the cognate mean?
My best guess for the word based on this strategy is…
Word #3 = ____________________________________
Strategy #3 = Use context clues
Here is the sentence that the word was in:
