Learning Objectives

Indicator: B2.2.9.1.3 - Use contextual clues to confirm or self-correct pronunciation while reading aloud

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify at least three contextual clues (surrounding words, sentence meaning, or pictures) that help them pronounce an unfamiliar word correctly.
Self-correct their pronunciation of at least two words while reading a short passage aloud, using the meaning of the sentence to guide them.
Read a 4 to 6 sentence passage aloud with improved accuracy and appropriate intonation, stopping to fix mispronounced words as they go.
Explain in one sentence how reading the rest of a sentence helped them pronounce a difficult word correctly.
Work with a partner to confirm each other’s pronunciation by asking, “Does that word make sense in this sentence?”
