Clue it out loud
Read a sentence with a tricky word and think aloud: "The ground was parched. It hadn't rained in weeks. So parched must mean really dry." Then kids try one. Seeing the steps teaches them how to use clues.
Why it works: handing over the work step by step, from teacher to student, is one of the most widely used teaching frameworks (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).
