Context clues are hints in a sentence that help you understand new words. When you read, look for words or phrases around the unknown word. For example, in the sentence, 'The kitten was very playful, jumping and running around,' the word 'playful' helps you understand that the kitten is full of energy. Using context clues makes reading easier and more fun!
