Word guessing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Example
In the sentence, "The fox jumped over the dog.", if the reader isn't familiar with the word "jumped", then they might read it as "joom-ped". After reading the rest of the sentence, they may realize that the word was actually the past tense of "jump".
Uses
Word guess has been suggested as a method for teaching English-language learners (ELL) that fosters semantic mapping.[3]
