Does the word make sense based on the text? grasp /g/ /r/ /ă/ /s/ /p/ grasp She can grasp the basketball grasp Yep! That works! If you guess or skip words you don t recognize when you read, it can really mess up your comprehension. For example, you re reading the sentence: The dog is a mutt. If you guess that the last word is mitt, then you might think that the dog plays baseball- which is way off! If you totally skip the last word, then you ll wonder, What is the dog?
