Chunking Reading Strategy

This strategy involves breaking words into manageable ‘chunks’ to sound out, rather than sounding out each individual letter. For example in the word ‘stall’, your child should be able to recognize the blend ‘st-‘and identify its corresponding sound; ‘-all’ is the next chunk that can be used to help us solve the word: ‘st-all’,‘stall’. Another example is ‘shouted’ which could be broken down into the parts ‘sh-out-ed’ See video here.
