I apologize for the confusion in my previous response.

The correct first step readers should take when they encounter an unfamiliar word is to use context clues near the word. By analyzing the context, readers can make educated guesses or inferences about the meaning of the word.

Looking up the word in a dictionary is also a valid step, but typically it would come after attempting to determine the meaning through context clues. Using a dictionary can provide the precise definition, pronunciation, origin, and additional information about the word.

Replacing the unfamiliar word with a familiar word and finding a synonym for the word in a thesaurus are strategies that can be used later on to further enhance understanding or clarify the meaning, but they are not the initial step to take when encountering an unfamiliar word.
