One strategy is to spell phonetically, based on the sound of the word, in relation to the sound of the 26 letters of the English alphabet, in particular the vowels, a e i o u and y, which are the basis of a syllable of the word. " The first sound "stra" is clearly s t r a, the second sound "te" is clearly t e, and the last sound "gy" is g y, rather than j y or j i, if you're familiar with the conventions of English spelling. " If you've seen the word before, your memory, when asked this question, will tend to deliver the right answer: yes or no.

- If no, spell it out again and ask the same question.
