Use different reading strategies to work out tricky words.

Success criteria:

Use the pictures to think about what the word could be;

Look at the beginning and end letters and think about what word would fit and make sense;

Look for chunks or words I know within a word and think about what work would make sense;

Read on to the end of the sentence, then re-read and think about what word would make sense.
