Exploring Context Clues in Cartoons

The video tutorial introduces context clues, which help readers understand unfamiliar words. It covers four types: rewording, synonyms, antonyms, and logic, providing examples for each. Rewording involves using simpler words, synonyms use similar words, antonyms use opposite words, and logic requires understanding the sentence's overall meaning. The tutorial concludes with a recap of these types.

What can context clues help you figure out?

• The main idea of the text

• The meanings of unfamiliar words

• The summary of the paragraph

• The author's intention
