Finding Word Meaning: Context Clues & Text Features #1

Learners practice using context clues to identify the meaning of new words in this language and vocabulary worksheet.

Designed for fifth graders, this worksheet prepares students as they begin to read works of nonfiction with a variety of unfamiliar new words.
