Reading Strategy Practice: Accuracy- Check the B-M-E

Video

Hello readers! Today I’d like to teach a new strategy to help you be sure you are reading accurately. When you come upon an unknown word: check the beginning, the middle , and the end. Start at the beginning of the word, sliding the sounds together. Then, check the middle of the word, sliding the sounds together. Then, check the end of the word, sliding the sounds together. Say the whole word: blending the beginning, middle, and end. Reread to ensure the word sounds right and makes sense.

Engage your mind by checking the beginning middle and end of the word!
