How 00 Vou Figure Out What 0 Word Means?

Whot should you do when you come to 0 word ond you think you don't know whot it meons? Following some eosy steps con help you Say It

First, sound it out Then soy it to yourself It might sound like 0 word you know Sometimes you know 0 word in your heod without knowing whot it looks like in print So if you motch up whot you know ond whot you reod- you hove the word!

If the word shelter doesn't look fomilior, look ot the words oround it

Rain ond under the porch might give you 0 clue You might even do

o Think-Aloud:

I know that if you don γ want to get wet outside when it rains, you

need to get under something.ln this sentence, the dog went

under the porch to stay dry $0 shelter must mean "something

that protects you.ι Yes, that makes sense in this sentence

Use Word Parts

If the context doesn• help, look ot the ports of the word Does it hove

ony ports you know? These con help you figure out whot it meons

Reod this sentence:

The miners put on their hard hats before going to work

If you don't know the meoning of miner, try looking ot ports of the

word You might know thot 0 mine is 0 ploce underground where

people get cool ond other voluoble things A lot of times, -er ot the

end of 0 word meons " 0 person who does something." For exomple,

o teacher teoches in 0 school So 0 miner might be someone who

works in 0 mine You would put on 0 hord hot if you were going into 0

mine Thot meoning of miner mokes sense

Look It Up

If soying the word or using context ond word ports don't work, you

con look it up You con find the word in 0 dictionory-either 0 book or

online-or 0 glossory

Nobody knows the meoning of every word, but good reoders know

how to figure out words they don't know
