Sometimes you read a word you do not know. Stop and ask, 'What does that word mean?' Asking is smart, not silly.
Mia reads about a giant. The book says the giant is 'enormous.' Mia asks, 'What does enormous mean?' She looks at the picture. The giant looks huge. Enormous means really really big.
You can also connect new words to words you know. Enormous is like saying super big. That helps you remember it.
Ask what a word means. Use clues and connect it to a word you know.
You read a word you don't know: 'gigantic.' What should you do?
