Kavi Picks the Right Tool
Kavi the owl keeps three reading tools in his pocket. "When a word is new and short, I sound it out — m-a-p → map. When a word is long, I look for a chunk I already know — jump + ing. And when I'm still stuck, I read on for clues in the rest of the sentence. The clever part? I pick the tool that fits the job — and I can say why it helped!"
