An important strategy to help students build their vocabulary is use of context.

so, using the clues or hints provided in the text that surround an unfamiliar word to help guess the meaning  without depending on a dictionary. This can include words, phrases, or sentences that appear before, after, or close to the word. It can also include visuals or headings embedded in the text – basically anything that helps a reader understand the meaning of an unfamiliar word. Expository, non-fiction text tends to offer more context clues than narrative text.
