    3rd and 4th Grade

    Objective
    Students will use context clues to decode unfamiliar words.
    Materials Needed
    Whiteboard and dry-erase marker (or chalkboard and chalk)
    Word Detective Activity reproducible
    Introduction
    In a low voice, say to students, If you can hear me, please raise
    your snooble.
    Students will likely giggle or give you a quizzical look, but simply repeat the instruction until one or two students
    begin raising their hands. Acknowledge their correct responses with a smile or nod.
    Once other students begin to catch on, confrm that the nonsense word snooble meant hand. Ask a volunteer to
    explain how she guessed the correct meaning of the nonsense word.
    Procedure
    1. Explain that good readers often use context clues to decode unfamiliar vocabulary words. Point out that other
    words in the text may give them hints about the meaning of words they do not know.
    2. Display a few example sentences on the board to demonstrate the use of context clues in decoding word
    meanings, such as:
    The angry dog barked ferociously, scaring the young kitten.
    After studying, Tom is optimistic he will do well on the test.
    The courageous explorer climbed the dangerous mountain.
    3. Remind the students that the other words in the sentence, or context clues, will give them an idea of what the
    words mean.
    4. Invite volunteers to try to decode the meaning of the underlined words. Then have them come up to the board
    and circle other words in the sentence that served as context clues. (For example, in the frst sentence, they might
    circle the word angry or scaring because these words indicate that the dogs bark was ferocious.)
    Guided/Independent Practice
    1. Declare all of your students word detectives! Distribute a copy of the Word Detective Activity to each student.
    2. Have students work with a partner or small group. Instruct them to read the paragraph together and use
    context clues to discover the meaning of the nonsense words.
    3. Encourage students to write the meaning of each word and list all of the context clues that helped them
    decode the correct meaning of the word.

    The big yellow school gleek pulled to a stop at the corner. The driver
    opened the door, and I climbed up the steps to get on board. I walked

    friend Jack waving to me from the last row. Over here, Nate! he yelled.
    I nodded and made my way toward him. I took my norjot flled with
    books and placed it under the seat. Then I plopped down beside him
    and enjoyed the ride to blat.
