This session will address helping those kids who have splinter reading skills, but have few skills to unlock unknown words.
They guess based on the first letter or two.
They use pictures (not many pictures at this level) and what they know, or think they know, of the content.
Instruction must be cumulative, sequential, and systematic, so that students overcome the bad habit of relying on context and guessing to decode unknown words.

4 vowels, but the e on the end is silent
So I will have 3 syllables
Divide between the 2 “i’s str (3 letter blend)
I’ll try putting s with the 1st syllable and blend to the end with tr – dis tr
Now I have to divide between the i and the u.
I’ll flex the b – dis tri bute dis trib ute
Distribute is a word I know.
