Context Clues
What is Context Clues?
Context clues are hints or "clues" that give you the sense of
unfamiliar words in a text. Context clues are hints in the
passage, paragraph, or individual sentence that, if considered,
can tell you the meaning of a word you are not familiar with.
Sometimes even the title of a piece or the illustrations that
come with it offers context clues, as well.
These clues help us decipher the meaning of unfamiliar
words in different ways.
CONTEXT CLUES can also help when a word has
more than one meaning. These words are called
homographs. Some simple examples are “bank,” “live,”
and “rose.” Context clues allow us to choose the specific
meaning the author intended for that word, at that time.
If you’re reading about a bear racing through the woods,
for example, and he climbs a bank, context clues tell you
it’s a mound of dirt, not a place where people keep their
money.
