Chunky Sentences

Help the young readers in your life!

It’s a big step going from reading individual words to reading whole sentences. When they’re starting, the sentences can sound stilted and robotic, and it’s easy for them to lose track of the sentence’s meaning. They’re focusing 100% on the words themselves! Reading by phrases unlocks fluency and increases comprehension. Repetitive reading of larger and larger chunks of sentences trains developing readers to process groups of words rather than individual ones.

Each sentence is broken down into meaningful chunks that train readers to consider larger parts of sentences as one cohesive whole.

Our Approach

Chunky Sentences guides children by splitting sentences into chunks. They read each chunk on its own and absorb its meaning before moving on.

Eventually, these chunks are combined into bigger pieces until they’re confidently reading the whole sentence. This trains them to look at a sentence as a series of phrases instead of a series of words–a powerful change in thinking. This research-backed approach builds confidence as well as success in reading and comprehension.
