practicing new
skills #1 Kindly read. Context Clues - are hints you can find
about a word’s meaning by looking
carefully at the other words in sentence.
Context clues are hints for you to
clearly understand the meaning of a
sentence, simple as that.

There are common types of context

clues but before that analyze this
sentence first.

My dad drinks a cup of joe every

morning to help him wake up. He
adds a little cream and half a
teaspoon of sugar.
What do you think is ‘cup of joe’
mean based on the sentence? For me, cup of joe mean coffee.
Okay. What made you say that cup of
joe is a coffee? The clue words are given in the sentence
 which are: drink; adds a little cream and
half a teaspoon of sugar.
Very good! What type of context clue
is present in this example? It’s inference ma’am.

Exactly! Inference is when a reader

comes to a word they do not know,
they can make an inference/an
educated guess. This means, reader
uses prior knowledge and experience
and weaves it in with clues the author
is providing.

Did you understand class? Yes, ma’am.

Okay. Take a look with this

examples.
 The paleontologist, a scientist
who studies the remains of

Okay, you got it right! This type of ma’am.
context clue is pretty straightforward
because the actual definition of the
word is provided.

Let’s proceed to the next example.

Kindly read.
Celestial bodies, including the (A student will volunteer to read)
moon, the sun, and the stars, have
been an object of fascination for
men for centuries.
What have you notice on the
sentence? There are list of object or an example for
us to determine that celestial bodies are
Indeed! This type of context clue is star, sun and moon.
Example wherein it provides
examples to help reader determine the
meaning of the word.

Here is another example

The industrious server made a lot
of money off of tips from his
customers while the lazy servers
went home with just a few dollars.
What is the opposite meaning of the
unknown word industrious? I think the opposite meaning of
industrious is lazy.
What clue word/phrases help you
identify the opposite meaning of
industrious? The clue words that help me identify the
meaning of industrious is the use of
contrast clue ‘while’ because you can
already tell that lazy is the opposite
meaning of industrious.
Brilliant answer!
These type of context clues is an
Antonym where authors sometimes
provide the reader with words that
have the opposite meaning of the
unknown word.
Some cases, the author use phrases
that will clue the reader that an
antonym is coming such as: however,
unlike, in contrast, while.

And lastly, Synonym as context

clues. This context clue provides that
have the same meaning of the
unknown word.
For instance:
The new girl was aloof. She seemed
uninterested and unsociable.

What is the meaning of the word

aloof based on the sentence? The words uninterested and unsociable
are synonyms to the word aloof.
Why? Since it is likely that the reader will know
the words uninterested and unsociable,
the author uses them to define the word
Yes, exactly! Because the word can aloof.
also be found as a restated sentence
that emphasizes what was previously
said.
Try to identify the meaning of
unknown word in this example.
Kindly read.
The new Miss America began her
year-long reign surrounded by
spotlights and the center of all
attention. For the rest of the
evening, she was the cynosure of
 every eye for the rest of the
evening.
What does cynosure means based on
the sentence? The word cynosure means center of all
attention.
Right! When a notion is stated in
neighboring familiar terms, the reader
may learn the meaning of an
unknown word.
E. Discussing new ORAL ACTIVITY: Eye for the

each sentence carefully. Identify the
