Sometimes when we are reading, we don’t know what a word means! What do we do? Just like a detective, we have to use clues! There are words or phrases around unfamiliar words that can help us understand the meaning of a word. These words or phrases are called context clues.

We Make Guesses Based on the Information We Know! Let’s Try It…

I'll tell you about the career that I chose; it definitely keeps me on my toes. I've been practicing since a very young age. Now I travel around and perform on the stage. I'm graceful and pretty, but I'm also real strong. My body is thin and my legs are quite long. I often wear pink and love satin and lace. Watch me twirl, flit and flutter all over the place.

A Ballerina!

Hot Shot! Who Am I? A lot of kids think that they want to be me. Danger 's my best friend and my enemy. When I'm summoned to duty I'm often alarmed. Still, I help lots of people stay safe and unharmed. I wear a cool hat and a raincoat and boots. Which I'd much rather wear than some stuffy old suits. My truck makes loud noises when I drive down the street. It's a lot of fun but I still take lots of heat.

Getting There Who Am I ? My career is really taking off but there's more to it than that. For I can take you far away in 30 minutes flat. You can sit beside the window and look at the ants below. From here, the earth looks all the same, no matter where you go. My future is up in the air. My hopes remain sky high. Most people are beneath me, cuz I'm quite a lofty guy. Of course, sometimes I have to keep my feet firm on the ground. Like when I'm home, or when somebody's luggage can't be found.

 Context Clues are words that say, “Stop - don’t touch that dictionary! The definition of the word you don’t know is right here in the text!“  Context Clues - Information a reader can get from the reading that helps show what a word or group of words means.  Like in a mystery, you have to use the clues to find the answer!

Synonym A synonym, or word with the same meaning, is used in the sentence. My opponent's argument is fallacious, misleading – plain wrong. Antonym A word or group of words that has the opposite meaning reveals the meaning of an unknown term. Although some men are loquacious, others hardly talk at all. Explanation The unknown word is explained within the sentence or in a sentence immediately preceding. The patient is so somnolent that she requires medication to help her stay awake for more than a short time. Example Specific examples are used to define the term. Celestial bodies, such as the sun, moon, and stars, are governed by predictable laws. Some Types of Context Clues

LET’S LOOK AT SOME MORE TYPES OF CONTEXT CLUES: Definition Comparison List or Series Cause and Effect Description or Inference

The unknown word is explained by using a more familiar word or phrase EXAMPLES: **Entomology is the study of insects.  **Archaeology is the scientific study of prehistoric cultures by excavation of their remains.

The meaning is usually right after the unfamiliar word and often separated from the rest of the sentence with commas, dashes, or parentheses; sometimes, or that is, or in other words is used. EXAMPLES : *Meat eaters, that is carnivores, are at the top of the food chain. *The goslings--those fuzzy baby geese--waddled after their mother. *She enjoyed biology (the study of living things).

The unfamiliar word is shown to be the same as or like another word; too, like, as, similar to, or in the same way may be used to signal the comparison. EXAMPLE: *My brother is enthralled by birds similar to the way that I am fascinated by to the way that I am fascinated by insects. insects.

The unfamiliar word is cleared up by giving an example; for instance, such as, and for example may be used as signals. EXAMPLE: *The archeologist found different amulets, such as a rabbit’s foot and bags of herbs, near the ancient altar.

The unfamiliar word is included in a series of related words that give an idea of the word’s meaning. EXAMPLE: *North American predators include grizzly bears, pumas, wolves, and foxes.

The meaning of an unfamiliar word can be inferred from the description of a situation or experience. EXAMPLE: *The monkey’s vociferous chatter made me wish I had earplugs.
