What children learn in Level 19
- Many words have more than one meaning. We fished from the bank. Mom saved money at the bank. The sentence tells you which one.
- Homographs are spelled the same but said differently. You read the sentence first, to know how to say the word.
- Good readers rethink a word if the sentence stops making sense.
