W HAT POINT OF VIEW IS USED ? When you are reading a passage and you come across a word that you do not know, you should use context clues to help you define the word. Context clues help you figure out the definitions of unfamiliar words. Become a detective and search for the words that will help you define the unfamiliar word. Sometimes the definition is right there in the sentence. You should never skip over a word you do not know. Good readers take the time to understand what they are reading!
