Hey there! Did you know that your fingers can help you read? That’s right! Fingers aren’t just for playing or picking things up. They can also help you learn new words!
When you see a big word, it can be a little tricky to read. But don’t worry! You can use your finger to break the word into smaller parts, or “chunks.” This makes it easier to read the word step by step.
Here’s a fun way to use your finger for reading:
See how easy that was? Your finger helped you read the word by breaking it into smaller parts!
Your finger is like a little helper when you’re learning to read. It helps you focus on one part of the word at a time, so you don’t feel overwhelmed. Remember, your finger is there to help you read better!
Try using your finger to read other words. The more you practice, the better you’ll get at reading. Have fun exploring new words and using your fingers to help you!
Happy reading!
Word Chunk Hunt: Go on a word hunt around your home or classroom! Find objects with names that have more than one syllable, like “pencil” or “window.” Use your finger to cover parts of the word and sound out each chunk. Can you put the chunks together to say the whole word? Try this with three different objects and share what you find with a friend or family member.
Finger Reading Relay: Pair up with a friend or family member. Take turns picking a word from a book or a list. Use your finger to cover parts of the word and read it in chunks. After you read the word, pass the book or list to your partner and let them try with a new word. See how many words you can read together in five minutes!
Chunk and Draw: Choose a word from your favorite storybook. Use your finger to break it into chunks and read it aloud. Then, draw a picture of what the word means or represents. Share your drawing with someone and explain how you used your finger to read the word.
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hey Bert, did you know that fingers aren’t just for picking your nose? Fingers are also for reading! You can use your finger to break a word into smaller chunks, making it easier to read. Here is a word that starts with two consonants. You use your finger to cover the last two letters, sound out the letters, and blend them together. Take away your finger and read the end of the word. Now put the two chunks together: “stop.”
Remember, Bert, this is what your finger is for—to help you read!
