Phonics: Reading Suspects!

In this lesson, students will work in small groups to decode a mystery word by selecting from five familiar reading strategies, or Reading Suspects: 1. Fishy Lips, 2. Stretchy Snake, 3. Skippy Frog, 4. Chunky Monkey, and 5. Tryin’ Lion. Students will then program Dash to select the one reading suspect most likely able to help them decode the “mystery” word and demonstrate how to use this reading strategy.
