If the oral reading records you're talking about are the same as "running records", I usually have a wait time of about 10-15 seconds (I try to count it in my head). New readers (I've taught K, 1, & 2) need more than a few seconds to figure out unknown words. If it is a word that I think the child won't be able to figure out using the strategies he/she knows, then I'll tell the child that word after a little less time than the 10-15 seconds.
