I am teaching in a public jr and sr high school in Beijing. A large part of my work is to help students prepare for their national examinations. Many of my students have trouble reading English outloud (one part of the exam is to be evaluated while reading a paragraph). One problem specifically is that they do not pay attention to the whole word. For example, the sentence may be "The boy had trouble remembering what to do." They will see the beginning of the word and only read "remember". 80% of the time, the problem is with word endings. About 20% of the time they miss the beginning of the word (usually a prefix) and only read the root. Any suggested strategies to deal with this?
