Context clues Context clues are hints in the sentence that help good readers figure out the meanings of unfamiliar words. When we look at the “context” of a word, we look at how it is being used. Based on how these words are used, and on our knowledge of the other words in the sentence, we make an educated prediction as to what the challenging vocabulary word may mean.

Context Clues Example of Using Context Clues Examine this line from Lewis Carroll’s poem, “Jabberwocky”: The frumious Bandersnatch! Though neither “frumious” nor “Bandersnatch” were words before Carroll coined them, readers are able to get meaning out of the construction based on how the words are used.

Context Clues Directions: Read each sentence and determine the meaning of the word using context clues or your prior knowledge. Then, explain what clues in the sentence helped you determine the word meaning.
