Three cueing, also known as the searchlight model or MSV (meaning, syntax, visual), is a method for teaching reading that encourages students to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words using context clues, rather than sounding them out phonetically. This approach has faced criticism for not being supported by research on effective reading instruction, which emphasizes phonics and decoding skills.
