CONTEXT CLUES

Tick tock, tick tock, I am stuck!
How can I unlock? How can I unlock?
When unfamiliar words are the ones that block!
Strategize, strategize, vocabulary wise!
Familiarize, familiarize, the words that arise
Hints here, signals there, clues are everywhere
Categorize, conceptualize, and then contextualize
Context clues are the ones that guide.

 What can you say about the poem?

 Do you find difficulty in understanding the poem?
B. Interaction Context clues are hints found within a sentence, paragraph, or
passage that a reader can use to understand the meanings of new or
 unfamiliar words. They are called context clues, because they are found
in the “context” of the sentence or passage.

Learning the meaning of a word through its use in a sentence or

paragraph is the most practical way to build vocabulary, since a
dictionary is not always available when a reader encounters an
unknown word.
A reader must be aware that many words have several possible
meanings. Only by being sensitive to the circumstances in which a word
is used can the reader decide upon an appropriate definition to fit the
context.
A reader should rely on context clues when an obvious clue to
meaning is provided, or when only a general sense of the meaning is
needed for the reader’s purposes. Context clues should not be relied
upon when a precise meaning is required, when clues suggest several
possible definitions, when nearby words are unfamiliar, and when the
unknown word is a common one that will be needed again; in these
cases, a dictionary should be consulted.
