A child reads "I see a nest." and stops at a new word. They say its four sounds one at a time and blend them into nest. The word is then checked with three questions (does it look right, sound right and make sense?), and the sentence is read again with the word checked.

Oh! This word is new. How can we read it?

Sound it out. Say each sound, one at a time.

Four sounds: nnn, eh, sss, tuh.

Now blend them. Say the sounds together, fast.

Nnn, eh, sss, tuh makes nest!

Now check the word. Ask three questions.

Does it look right? Yes, the letters match.

Does it sound right? I see a nest. Yes!

Does it make sense? Yes, look, a nest!

Now read it all: I see a nest.

Blend the sounds, then check the word.
