Word guessing

Word guessing refers to a method of reading in which a beginner reader doesn't know what a word is in a sentence, so they guess what the word is and read the rest of the sentence to confirm their guess.[1][2]
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]
