Use context to confirm or self-correct word recognition and understanding, rereading as necessary.

You'll most likely see this substandard demonstrated when you have your kids reading aloud (RF.3.4.B). If they barrel through sentences that sound like a word salad with a side of confusion, you'll see that you have a problem. This one's easy to spot and not necessarily easy to fix.

Any students struggling with this issue will benefit from a little intensive work. Stop them when they make mistakes and have them do the correction. Don't let this one slide because we don't want them fighting a set habit.
