Understanding the use of Fix Up strategies 2. Explain or demonstrate the use of a variety of Fix Up strategies in the classroom “Children will use a variety of fix up strategies to read unfamiliar words. Students will learn to pronounce words, determine meanings in context, and figure out words using knowledge of root words, prefixes and suffixes, among other strategies. They will learn to figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word. Sometimes that results from figuring out how to pronounce the word. Sometimes that is by inferring from context. Of the two skills, students need to know that figuring out the meaning is more important.” Karen Haag Understanding the Concept: · http://www.liketoread.com/monitor.html http://www.thinkport.org/9157d784-ff3a-477b-9aa8-8457e21b13d7.asset Sample Lesson and Handout: · http://www.readinglady.com/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=5 (I don't know why, but with this link you must right click on it and then open it in a new tab.
