Think about how well you have trained word attack skills to effectively use three strategies (p.66-73) in English class throughout your secondary school years. What strategies were more highlighted? Or what strategies were ignored? Tell us how you want to teach word attack skills to your students in the future.
When I was a high school student, I had little vocabulary knoweldge. So I had a difiiculty reading some English materials which contain low frequency words a lot. At that time, I tried to seek unkown words using a dictionary. However, looking every unknown words, even if they are not important in reading content, is very time-consuming. Recongising the problem of using a dictionary, I tried to infer the meaning of words from morphology and context. Firstly, I studied the ways in which sompound words are made and the meaning of various affixations. It really helped me to predict meaning of unknown words. And then, I tired to infer words from context. I looked for clues to predict unkwon words in prior and next sentence of the part I was reading. It made me not only learn many words but also read carefully thinking about the connections between sentences. However, I did not use structural clues to learn words because I could not fully understand grammar to construct sentence. I will teach words attack skills to my students with activities. I will provide students with reading materials helping develop words attack skills.
