Teacher Insights

Five Types of Context Clues (PDF) 
  • Context Clues are the information from the textual setting that helps identify a word or word group.

  • The intent of this standard is that students do not need to master context clues, but rather, create an understanding that words, text features, and illustrations give clues to what a word or group of words can mean.

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
