Contextual Clues ARE V V Helpful!!!

Contextual Redefinition offers you specific steps for deducing the meaning of unknown (or unclear) words in a reading passage by seeking clues from their context in a larger text selection.
Steps to Contextual Redefinition:

• Select several key words from a reading selection (especially words that have multiple meanings or might otherwise be unclear to readers).
• Read the text selection, noting the specific sentences in which each of the words appears.
• Revisit the previous definitions and see which, if any, reflect the use of these words in the context of the selection. Use dictionaries if definitions lack enough clarity to match the contextal meaning of the words.
