| Wait. They might work it out. | If it makes sense, don't worry about it. |
| Say, "Try that again." | If it doesn't make sense, wait to see if the reader will fix it. |
| Say, "Look at the picture." | Say, "Try that again." |
| Say, "What would make sense?" | Say, "Does that make sense." |
| Say, "Get your mouth started on the tricky word." | Say "Does that look right and sound right?" |
| Tell the reader the word. | Tell the reader the word. |
