Word+Chunks

In October we will start learning about word chunks. We will learn that some words can be broken into chunks (just like a big chocolate bar) to make them easier to read. Each week as we learn about a new chunk we will make a poetry page that highlights each chunk. The chunks are listed below in the order that I introduce them (from left to right) to the class. We learn about the strategies that good readers use when they come to a word they don’t know. One of those strategies is to look for a chunk in the word that might help them read the word. Thanks for helping your child become a good reader!
