Wordmeanings

Teaching word meanings is one of the most important strategies we need to use as a teacher. If a student does not know a word meaning and is unable to infer the meaning the reading is pointless. Using context clues is a great tool. Look what is happening around the word and see if you can figure out it's meaning. We do this all the time. Or we can use part of the word to try to figure out the meaning. Help the students find the word meanings.
