Explicit Good readers are really good word solvers. Sometimes when a good reader is reading a book, they suddenly come to a word they don’t Instruction know. They try to read it, but they can’t.

And there was a word that was a name for a dinosaur and I was very tricked when I was trying to read it!

Guided Since you have all had a time when this has happened to you and I know you are all very good readers, let’s make an anchor chart to Practice review and remind us of some things that good readers can do when they come to a word they don’t know.

Call on children and make chart together.

Okay, let’s look at our list so far. It says….. I am going to hang it up here and we are going to add to it if we think of more things that readers do when they come to a hard word.

Send Off [for I’ve brought along this big book today and as a class we are all going Independent to practice being word solvers as we read this book together.
