Today, I tried the strategy of using context clues to understand new vocabulary. I read a short article and tried to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words by looking at the sentences around them. The strategy worked well for me because it helped me understand the words without needing a dictionary right away. Some new words I learned today were “resilient,” “promptly,” and “maintain.” Using context clues made it easier to remember the words and how they are used in real sentences.
