Students develop independent learning strategies...
Two of the most powerful independent word learning strategies you can teach your students are to use external context clues and internal morpheme clues, or structural analysis. Fisher & Frey refer to this as examining the inside and the outside of the word.
It is important to note that both of these strategies are complex and do need to be taught and consciously practiced in order for them to prove valuable. See the ShowMe videos below, and find more about both strategies at Vocabulogic.
