D. Abstraction Discussion:
You are doing great! Although it is quite hardy to manage, you are halfway through. Now, let us
rediscover and relearn about CONTEXT CLUES by analyzing those activities you have been
through. Read and take your time to refresh your mind about context clues and its types.
When authors write, they often give context clues to readers to suggest the meanings of new or
difficult words. Context clues are hints or "clues" that give you the sense of unfamiliar words in a
text. Context clues are hints in the passage, paragraph, or individual sentence that, if considered, can
tell you the meaning of a word you are not familiar with. Sometimes even the title of a piece or the
illustrations that come with it offers context clues, as well.

These clues help us decipher the meaning of unfamiliar words in different ways.

There are five types of context clues.

Thus, context clues are essential to us, especially when you are in the middle of an examination,
which using dictionaries is prohibited. Through this, it develops your critical thinking skills by
analyzing and interpreting based on your prior knowledge of the unfamiliar words in the sentence or
the sentences that surround those uncommon words.

So, context clues help you to increase your vocabulary skills, reading comprehension, and
become a better reader.
