This was a great resource for my students to help them as they learned context clues. LOTS of activities to choose from. VERY high quality product. Thank you!

My students had so much fun with this! Thank you!
Mariah D. –
This resource was great for my students that need more practice with context clues. I do wish that some of the resources were grouped by kind of context clue (ex. only using example context clues and included those key words in the anchor chart) because my students need more explicit practice with each kind.
Amanda N. –
Excellent passages and activities included in this resource!

This resource gives a variety of differentiated ways to get your students using context clues. It includes multiple choice questions, context clues within sentences, creating your own sentences and stories using the words, and passages that include the vocabulary words (the most helpful and my personal favorite).
