Use of Context Clues To
Determine Word
Meanings
David Morrow
Context Clues…. What are
They?
 Context clues are bits of information from the text
that, when combined with prior knowledge, allow
you to decide the meaning of unknown words in
the story or article you are reading.
As readers it is up to us to make sense of the clues
and words surrounding an unknown word so that we
can make a intelligent guess on the meaning of the
unknown word.
How do Context Clues
help me?
 Textbook writers and authors include words or
phrases to help their readers understand the
meaning of a new or difficult word.

 These words or phrases are built into the sentences
around the new or difficult word. By becoming
more aware of the words around a difficult word,
readers can make logical guesses about the
meanings of many words.
What's your most intelligent
guess?
When we say the Pledge of Allegiance, we show
patriotism.
A. Tiredness
B. Understanding
C. Hatred

D. Love for Country
Here's another..
The young boy taunted the puppy by holding a bone
in front of the puppy's nose, with no intent on giving
him the bone.
A. Punished
B. Tricked

C. Teased
D. Flipped
Think about…
Have you noticed that you can substitute the correct
term with the one already found in the sentence and
the sentence will still make sense!!

Just how good are you?
Your friend Ryan has moved to a new country and is learning a
new language. Read what he wrote in his diary and see if you can
figure out the meaning to the underlined words.
Dear Diary,
I overslept this morning. I had to eat my bowl of poof-poofs
very quickly, and I almost missed the tramzam. When I got to
school, I realized I had forgotten my zilgping . Luckily, Mrs.
Rhodes is very zoosh, and told me I could bring it tomorrow.
After school, some friends and I played plingming. It’s a new
game I am learning. We scored 7 points and they only scored 5
points, so we were the zoiters! Dad says that next weekend
we’re going to the fladder . I can’t wait! I love to swim and
play in the sand. I hope I don’t get a sunburn though. Well, I
better go to bed soon. I don’t want to wake up late again and
miss my tramzam!
The Breakdown
 What could the word poof-poofs mean?
► The sentences tell me it is something that can be eaten.
I know that it is a breakfast food because Ryan said it
was morning. I also know that it goes in a bowl.
What do you think it is?
► The most logical guess would be a type of cereal.
 What could the word tramzam mean?
► The sentences tell me that Ryan was going to school
and he almost missed his tramzam. What do you
think it is?
► The most logical guess would be a school bus.
Some more
 What could the word zilgping mean?
► The sentences tell me that it is something Ryan needed at
school. I also know that it is ok if he brings it tomorrow.
What do you think it is?
► The most logical guess would be Ryan’s homework.
 What could the word zoosh mean?
► The sentences tell me that a person can act this way and
that Ms. Jutzi is being kind and allowing Ryan to bring his
homework the next day. What do you think it is?
► The most logical guess would be friendly or understanding.
Almost done..
 What could the word plingming mean?
► The sentences tell me it is a game Ryan and his friends
play against each other and that points can be scored.
What do you think it is?
► The most logical guess would be a sport such as
basketball or soccer.
What could the word zoiters mean?
► The sentences tell me that Ryan’s team scored 7
points while the other team scored less points. What
do you think it is?
► The most logical guess would be that it means
winners.
One More!!
What could the word fladder mean?
► The sentences tell me that Ryan’s dad said he could go
there and when he gets there they will swim and play in the
sand. Ryan also mentions not wanting a sunburn. What do
you think it is?
► The most logical guess would be a lake or a beach.
Great Job Ladies and Gents

  • 2. Context Clues…. What are They?  Context clues are bits of information from the text that, when combined with prior knowledge, allow you to decide the meaning of unknown words in the story or article you are reading. As readers it is up to us to make sense of the clues and words surrounding an unknown word so that we can make a intelligent guess on the meaning of the unknown word.
  • 3. How do Context Clues help me?  Textbook writers and authors include words or phrases to help their readers understand the meaning of a new or difficult word.  These words or phrases are built into the sentences around the new or difficult word. By becoming more aware of the words around a difficult word, readers can make logical guesses about the meanings of many words.

  • 7. Just how good are you? Your friend Ryan has moved to a new country and is learning a new language. Read what he wrote in his diary and see if you can figure out the meaning to the underlined words. Dear Diary, I overslept this morning. I had to eat my bowl of poof-poofs very quickly, and I almost missed the tramzam. When I got to school, I realized I had forgotten my zilgping . Luckily, Mrs. Rhodes is very zoosh, and told me I could bring it tomorrow. After school, some friends and I played plingming. It’s a new game I am learning. We scored 7 points and they only scored 5 points, so we were the zoiters! Dad says that next weekend we’re going to the fladder . I can’t wait! I love to swim and play in the sand. I hope I don’t get a sunburn though. Well, I better go to bed soon. I don’t want to wake up late again and miss my tramzam!
