This may sound snarky -- and that's not my intent -- but are
you teaching them 1-1? (putting dots under each word for them
to put their fingers on as you read each word) I have found
that it's only after 1-1 is solid then I'm able to move onto
more strategies (like "do 2 things - look at the first letter
and the picture & "Unknown Word Strategy") to help them move
on. When the 1-1 is in place, making up stuff happens a lot
less...
