Reading Strategies
In KS1 we encourage the children to use one of following strategies to help them overcome any tricky words whilst reading:
1. Use our phonics to help segment and blend.
2. Break the word up using our hands.
3. Re-read the word again and again.
4. Keep reading and come back to the word.
5. Look at the pictures/ illustrations to help.
1. Video modelling using phonics to help segment and blend.
