Don't recognize a word while reading? Sound it out.
I tell the kids that all the time and while 99% of the time I can get away with that and they will be able to get the word, there are a few exceptions to the rule.
Via Adam:
Trebuchet said tre-but-chit
Arkansas said Are-kansas
And he still says Are-kansas! Most of the time on purpose to get a laugh, but every now and then, a complete slip.
And not from Adam, but love it still. It is how I prefer to pronounce it.
Jalapeno said ja-lop-a-no
