“Inaugurate” and “Inauguration” are words that your word finders need to be able to retrieve this week. Use these mnemonic cues and lock them into your students’ memories by using a “word finding 5”. First make the syllables explicit. Count out the syllables, and say the word syllable by syllable. Link the “easy words” with the “hard word” by connecting simple similar-sounding words with the tricky syllables, as in the cartoons above. Say the word ALOUD 5 times and ask your student to make up a meaningful serntence using the word.
