PLEASE NOTE:
Many teachers have indicated that my context clues products are very rigorous for their students. If you are a second-grade teacher, please take a look the vocabulary words included (as well as the format) to determine the appropriateness for your own group this year. Your students may need extra assistance and scaffolding to complete the activities.

I used this with my readers who are above grade level. Although some of the words they are already familiar with, it has been very engaging in teaching them HOW to use context clues and exposing them to passages like they will see on state testing next year.

This is a wonderful resource to use when teaching context clues. I used it in my tutorial classroom to teach context clues to students who struggle with reading. The questions not only ask for the meaning of a word but it ask what context clue was used to provide the meaning of the word. My students were challenged.
