Class Discussion Questions: Using Context Clues to Find Meaning of Unknown Words

In our Year 2 Reading class, we will explore how to use context clues to understand new words. Below are three discussion questions to help guide our conversation.

Question 1: What are Context Clues?

• Discussion Points:
  • Can you explain what context clues are in your own words?
  • What types of context clues can we look for in a sentence? (Examples: definitions, synonyms, antonyms, or examples)

Question 2: How Can Context Clues Help Us?

• Discussion Points:
  • Why do you think it's important to understand unknown words while we read?
  • Can you share a time when you used context clues to guess the meaning of a word?

Question 3: Practicing Using Context Clues

• Discussion Points:
  • Let’s find an unfamiliar word in a book we are reading. How can we figure out what it means using the surrounding words?
  • After identifying the word, what strategies can we use to check if our guess was correct? (Examples: rereading the sentence, using pictures, or asking for help)
