The word "ambidextrous" means being able to use both hands equally well. In the sentence, it mentions that Carlos can throw accurately with his left hand even when his right wrist is hurt. This shows that he can use both hands skillfully. The word "ambi-" means both, and "dexterous" means skillful, which helps us understand that ambidextrous people are good at using both their left and right hands.
Use the sentence to complete the activity.
Carlos was ambidextrous, so, when he sprained his right wrist, he was still able to throw accurately with this left hand.
In 3–5 sentences, define ambidextrous and explain how both the context clues and word parts can help you discover the word’s meaning. (Make sure a 2nd grader can understand)
