3 Ways to read...

The Daily 5 structure tells emergent readers there are three ways to read a book: read the pictures (pictures often carry much of the story's meaning,) read the words (to understand what is happening in the book,) and retell a familiar story (pictures and familiar words help retell the story.)

Three ways to read a book gives new readers a couple alternatives to knowing all the words and reinforces the idea that reading is understanding the story, not just saying words.
