Study Notes
Context Clues
- Definition: Context clues are words within sentences that aid in deciphering the meanings of unfamiliar words.
Types of Context Clues
- Definition Clue: The unfamiliar word is explained within the sentence (e.g., "treasure hunter" defined as a person searching for valuable relics).
- Synonym Clue: A similar word provides insight into the unfamiliar word (e.g., "compassion" synonymous with "pity").
- Antonym Clue: An opposite word illustrates the unfamiliar word's meaning (e.g., "portly" contrasts with "thin").
- Comparison Clue: A word that shares a similar meaning is used to draw comparisons (e.g., garbage's smell likened to rotten fish).
- Explanation Clue: A fuller description elucidates the unfamiliar word's meaning (e.g., "infractions" described through house rules violations).
- Cause-Effect Clue: Understanding the word relies on the relationship between ideas (e.g., mask mandates due to limited compliance).
- List/Examples Clue: The unfamiliar word appears in a series enhancing comprehension (e.g., describing rubbish types left after an event).
- Inference Clue: A guess based on provided descriptions aids in grasping the unfamiliar word's meaning (e.g., various items left behind suggest neglect).
- Tone or Mood Clue: The author's emotional setting or atmosphere can suggest meanings.
