Context clues are so important to teach and learn because it helps students think critically as they read. This is a great resource because it has anchor charts as well as task cards that can be used a number of ways.

These were a great challenge for my fifth graders. Students had to stop and think for most of these words that were difficult for them to define.

Teachers in Service –
I bought this resource for the task cards, which were great practice. I appreciated the words used and the amount of clues that were given so students could actually figure out what the word meant. The posters I thought were a little wordy so I ended up not using them for that reason. That being said, I think the price was maybe a little high for what I got. However, I can tell that a lot of time was spent making this to ensure that it was done well. Which I very much appreciate!
