    MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY


     Determine meanings of words through context clues

    OBJECTIVES
    1. Identify the different types of context clues
    2. Use context clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words
    WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
    Context clues are hints found within a sentence, a paragraph, or a passage that a reader
    can use to understand the meanings of new or unfamiliar words. There are different
    types of context clues, as follows:

    1. DEFINITION / DESCRIPTION CLUE – the new term may be formally defined, or


    sufficient explanation may be given within the sentence or in the following sentence
    2. EXAMPLE CLUE – sometimes when a reader finds a new word, an example might
    be found nearby that helps to explain its meaning
    3. SYNONYM / RESTATEMENT CLUE – the reader may discover the meaning of an
    unknown word because it repeats an idea expressed in familiar words nearby
    4. CONTRAST / ANTONYM CLUE – an opposite meaning context clue contrasts the
    meaning of an unfamiliar word with the meaning of a familiar term
    5. MOOD / TONE CLUE – the author sets a mood, and the meaning of the unknown
    word must harmonize with the mood
    6. EXPERIENCE CLUE – sometimes a reader knows from experience how people or
    things act in a given situation
    7. ANALYSIS OR STRUCTURE CLUE – the parts used to construct a word can be
    direct clues to meaning
    8. INFERENCE CLUE – sufficient clues might be available for the careful reader to
    make an educated guess at the meaning
    9. CAUSE AND EFFECT CLUE – the author explains the reason for or the result of
    the word

    CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING


    Task 1. Identify the context clue used to define the underlined words in each sentence.
    1. Lucinda is very adroit on the balance beam, but Constance is rather clumsy.
    2. I saw the entomologist, a scientist who studies insects, cradle the giant dung beetle in
    her palm.
    3. Bats, owls, raccoons, and crickets are chiefly nocturnal creatures.
    4. It would be an egregious mistake to wear a dirty t-shirt and shabby blue jeans to a
    funeral.
    5. The baseball coach punished the team’s duplicity or deceitfulness after they admitted
    using steroids to boost their batting averages.

    Task 2. Highlight the context clues that help to define the underlined words.

    Maggie was a (1) precocious child to say the least. She produced brilliant


    watercolor paintings by the age of three. At first, her parents were (2) flabbergasted—
    utterly blown away—by their daughter’s ability, but soon they got used to their little
    painter. Her preschool teacher said that Maggie’s (3) dexterity, or ease with which she
    used her
    hands, was something she had never before seen in such a young child. Little Maggie
    never (4) gloated or took pride in her paintings; she just smiled contentedly when she
    finished one and requested her parents give it to someone as a gift. Whenever people
    met Maggie for the first time they often watched her paint with their mouths (5) agape,
    but her parents always kept their mouths closed and simply smiled over their “little
    Monet.”

    Task 3. Identify the type of context clue used in each sentence.

    1. The girl who used to be very vociferous doesn't talk much anymore.
    2. Pedagogical institutions, including high schools, kindergartens, and colleges, require
    community support to function efficiently.
    3. He was so parsimonious that he refused to give his own sons the few pennies they
    needed to buy pencils for school. It truly hurt him to part with his money.
    4. His pertinacity, or stubbornness, is the cause of most of his trouble.
    5. When the children at the birthday party saw the cake, the balloons and the clown, they
    were ecstatic.
