Common Problems with Word Recognition

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Ann Kennedy on behalf of Expert Village and we'll be looking at correcting common reading problems in children. Common problems for young readers. A lot of times a child will be reading a book as; come, come, come Spot. Run, run, run. Let's look at the next page. That was said what the words are. Jump, child doesn't know the next word. So what can you do when you come to a word you don't know? It's important that you have the strategies to teach your child. You tell them to look at the pictures for clues. If we go back to seeing Spot run or jump. For example we're back at the page; what is the doggy doing? What is the doggy doing? He's jumping. Look at the pictures for clues and then go back into the text; jump, try sounding it out. Blend your sounds. Let's try it together. Spot, here's jump Spot. So look at pictures for clues. Another strategy; skip unknown words. Even in high school when you're taking tests, a lot of times teachers will tell you, if it doesn't come to you immediately go back to that question. Same thing with reading, skip the unknown word and read to the end of the sentence. Let the child skip the word that is difficult. For example; Spot cannot jump and play. Maybe they didn't know what the word jump meant. Spot cannot (skip the word it's okay) and play. Now let's see what this word means. Go to the picture for clues. Start sounding it out. But it's okay to tell them to skip it and go back. What word would make sense? We saw that the dog jumped, so that would make sense and we sounded it out. But don't ever get upset with your child or lose patience and tell them immediately what the word is, help them learn to decode and practice skills to figure it out.
