When you see a tricky word, don’t rush! Instead, say it slowly and break it into smaller parts. This helps your brain hear the sounds and figure out the word.

For example:

• Sandwich — Say it slowly: sand-wich
• Hummus — Say it slowly: hum-mus
• Pita — Say it slowly: pi-ta
• Yucky — Say it slowly: yuck-y
• Principal — Say it slowly: prin-ci-pal

Try stretching out the sounds and listening to them. Once you’ve said it slowly, blend the parts together to say the whole word.

When you come across a tricky word, try breaking it into smaller parts to help you read it. Look for chunks you already know, like small words, blends, or word endings.

Let’s try it with some words:

• Principal — prin-ci-pal
• Friends — fri-ends
• Drew — dr-ew
• Swings — sw-ing-s
• Sandwich — sand-wich
• Lunch — l-unch
• Strange — str-ange
• Gross — gr-oss
• Chickpea — chick-pea
• Frowned — frown-ed
• Scowled — scowl-ed
• Smell — sm-ell
• Triangles — tri-ang-les
• Squishy — squ-ish-y

By finding smaller parts in words, reading becomes easier and faster.

Model intonation of the text and have the students practice by repeating the phrases you have read.

• “I said, your sandwich looks yucky.” 
• “Ewww...YUCK!” 
• “FOOD FIGHT!” 
• “Hey, this is delicious!” “And this is heavenly!”
• Salma grinned. “Sure. Why not? Would you like to try my hummus and pita,"
• And then it happened. Somebody yelled, FOOD FIGHT!
