This printable resource focuses on one clear learning skill so students can practise independently or with adult support.

Learning focus

Use the worksheet for targeted practice, revision, homework, tutoring or homeschool learning. Review student responses and revisit the skill where needed.

Using context clues

Context clues are information around an unfamiliar word that can help reveal its meaning. Good readers use the whole sentence and surrounding ideas rather than guessing from one word alone.

A useful strategy

Self-check: Replace the unfamiliar word with your guessed meaning and check whether the sentence still makes sense.
