Word work: new words

When you read a word, check that it makes sense. • Read the whole sentence. • Look at the picture.

1 Is the missing word bicycle or book ? Why?

I put my b ___________ in my school bag.

• Word work: Tell pupils that the illustration and the other words in the sentence will often help them to read and understand a new word. They should sound the first letter, look for clues ( context clues ) and then guess. • The new word must make sense. For example, the answer to Exercise 1 is unlikely to be ‘bicycle’ because it would not make sense. • For more word context clues see Workbook 1, page 109–110.
