**Vocabulary**
We are using a strategy called "click and clunk." The idea is that reading is like riding a bike with a card in the spokes. We "click" along through words, paragraphs, and chapters that we have no trouble with until we hit clunk words, or words that trip us up like this. Our "fix up" strategies are: 1. Reread the sentence with the CLUNK and look for other clue words to help you figure it out. 2. Reread the sentences bvefore and after the CLUNK and look for clues. 3. Look for a prefix or suffix in the unknown word that might help you figure it out. Practice with prefixes and suffixes by playing the games below. 4. Break the CLUNK apart and look for smaller words that you already know. 5. Look at the illustrations to examples for clues. 6. If ALL OTHER strategies do not apply, look up the word in a glossary or dictionary or ask for help.
