Option 1: Context Clues. Today I used context clues. I saw the word “abhor” and noticed it was opposite of “adore,” so I knew it means to hate. This helped me keep reading without stopping.  Option 2: Morphemic Analysis. Today I used word parts. I saw “orthography” and knew “ortho” means correct and “graph” means writing. So it means correct writing or spelling.  Option 3: Sentence-Slinging.  Today I used sentences to learn “call off.” I wrote three sentences about canceling things. This helped me remember the meaning better.
