Which of the following prompts should we not use with students when reading if we want them to develop fluent word reading skills? Select all the prompts you should never ever use and would make Brennan cry.

• "Skip the tricky word. Read to the end. Think, what makes sense?"

• "Slowly stretch and sound out the word"

• "Look at the picture. What makes sense here?"

• Re-read the sentence. What word would make sense?

Answer explanation

We want students to SOUND OUT words based on what they know about their GPCs. We never want to use context to help them read a word (that comes in when we want them to know the meaning of the word)
