Unit 6 Sample Context Clues
Context is the text around a particular word. When you come across an unfamiliar word, ask yourself: “How is this word used?” (For example: to describe something.) Then, look for clues in the context to help you determine a possible meaning for the word. Look for these types of clues:
■ synonyms or definitions: words that mean the same as the unfamiliar word
■ antonyms: words that are opposite in meaning
■ explanations: words that give more information
Example: Paula feels apprehensive about her new school. She is worried that no one will sit with her at lunch.
Unfamiliar word: apprehensive
How is this word used? to describe how someone feels
Context clues: worried (synonym) and no one will sit with her (explanation) Possible meaning: anxious
