Context Clues are hints found within a sentence, paragraph, or passage that a reader can use to understand the meanings of new or unfamiliar words.
Good readers use context clues to help them understand the meaning of an unfamiliar and challenging word. For example, a reader might use the meaning of other words in a sentence or a picture on the page to help them learn the meaning of the unknown word.
