Note to parents: How to decode new words using phonics. 1. When encountering an unknown word, ask your child to point at it. Ask what the first letter is. 2. Ask your child what sound the letter makes and have them repeat it. 3. Break the word up into syllables () and ask your child to sound out and clap each part. (e.g. cro-co-dile). Each syllable has a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) 4. Ask them to put the sounds together and say the new word out loud. 5. Use it or lose it! Ask your child to add the new vocabulary item to their Word Bank Dictionary. Word Bank Dictionary
