First, say the word to yourself. Maybe, if you do this, it will sound like a word you already know. Sometimes you might know a word in your head without knowing what it looks like in print. So, if you match up what you already know and what you read- you will have the word.
I have several ways to do it 1- i listen the word's pronounciation from the dictionary.com then, ask my english teacher or social studies teacher about how pronounciate or u can ask that you are right or wrong because they are usually related to each other and usually english and social teachers can hlps a lot of your english. 2-if u r trying to just memorize you might have hard time to memorize everything so just do like jogging or just walking around the street and memorize. like reading and speak it. 3- if you cna't do #2 and #3 just write it thats the last thing you can do write it till you memorize that word i hope this was helpful to you thnx
