Today I am practising: using nearby words and pictures to infer a word meaning
1
Choose one unfamiliar word from a short text.
2
Copy the word and circle the sentence around it.
3
Draw or write one nearby clue.
4
Look at the picture. Does it add a clue? Mark yes or no.
5
Choose or write the word meaning.
6
Use the word in a new oral sentence for an adult.
- Pick a word whose text or illustration gives enough information to infer a basic meaning.
- Read the full sentence, not just the unfamiliar word, before discussing choices.
- Confirm the meaning after the child reasons from clues; do not frame the first guess as a test.
