ReadWriteThink:Solve Word Meanings Context clues PDF		Context clues are the information from the textual setting that helps identify a word or word group. There are five main types of context clues: Definition/Explanation clues, Restatement/Synonym clues, Contrast/Antonym clues, Inference/General Context clues, Punctuation clues. This helpful PDF will provide examples of each type. Context clues may appear within the same sentence or other parts of the text (a proceeding or preceding sentence, word parts, sentence structure, the overall tone of the passage, or an outside reference material). Multiple-meaning words are words that are spelled the same, are pronounced the same, but have different meanings that can be determined based on the context of the text. Multiple-meaning words can also be called homonyms. (For more on these types of word, see standard 4.R.4.) Example: I will park the car so we can walk to the park. I left my phone on the left side of my desk. While you are at the play, I will play with my dog.
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.
