STRATEGY CONTEXT

CLUES Homonyms are words that are pronounced and spelled the same but have different meanings. For example, bat means "a stick used to hit a ball." Bat also means "a flying animal." When you are reading and see a homonym, you can use context clues, or words and sentences around the homonym, to figure out its meaning.

SKILL REALISM/FANTASY A realistic story tells

about something that could happen. A fantasy
is a story about something that could never happen.

STRATEGY ACTIVATE/USE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Good

readers connect what they are reading with prior knowledge, or what they already know. Using prior knowledge can help you better understand what you read. You can also use prior knowledge to help you judge whether a story is realistic or a fantasy.

SKILL ACCURACY Accuracy is identifying words correctly as you read, and reading without omitting words or substituting words.
