Introduce your class to four different types of context clues: definition, example, comparison or contrast, and inference. Each type has its own description, example, and practice set. After pupils have mastered the four types, put it all together with the final two exercises, where learners must determine the definition of each italicized word using context clues. Tip: Use the final exercise as an assessment.
