'''Word Guessing''' refers to a method of reading where a beginner reader doesn't know what a word is in a sentence, so he/she '''guesses''' what the word is and reads the rest of the sentence to confirm their guess, e.g. '''The fox jumped over the dog.''' If you didn't know the word "jumped" then you might read it as: "joo-mp-ed" then you would read the rest of the sentence and realise that it was actually "jumped". |

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.[1][2]
Example
[edit]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
[edit]Word guess has been suggested as a method for teaching English-language learners (ELL) that fosters semantic mapping.[3]
