Using Context Clues
Finding Hidden Hints in the Text\n\nWhen you see an unfamiliar word, look at the words and sentences around it. Context clues often tell you what the word means! \n\n- Look for definitions, examples, or explanations nearby.\n- Substitute different words to see if the sentence still makes sense.\n\nThis trick helps you solve tough questions and learn new words as you read.
Examples
Figuring out that 'reluctant' means 'unwilling' because the sentence says the character 'did not want to go.'
Identifying the meaning of 'fragile' when the text says 'handle with care because it can easily break.'
