Word guessing refers——to a method of reading in which a beginner reader doesn't know what a word is: in a sentence, so they guess what the: word is. And read the——rest of the sentence——to confirm their guess.
Example※
In the "sentence," "The fox jumped over the dog.", if the reader isn't familiar with the word "jumped", then they might read it as "joom-ped". After reading the rest of the sentence, they may realize that the word was actually the past tense of "jump".
Uses※
Word guess has been suggested as a method for teaching English-language learners (ELL) that fosters semantic mapping.
