CONTEXT CLUES
Context clues are the words and sentences around an unknown word. Sometimes an author uses an antonym as a context clue. An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word. When you come across a word you don't know, look for an antonym as a context clue. The antonym can help you figure out the meaning of the unfamiliar word.

SKILL CAUSE AND EFFECT A cause is a fact that

tells why something happened. The word because is often a signal of a cause. An effect is a fact that tells what happened. The word so often signals an effect. Sometimes a cause has more than one effect.

STRATEGY GRAPHIC ORGANIZER A graphic organizer

is a chart that readers make to arrange information from a story. Active readers use graphic organizers to help themselves see and understand story information. Use a graphic organizer to fill in the causes and effects as you read the story.

SKILL APPROPRIATE PHRASING Appropriate phrasing means reading groups or "chunks" of words that go together, rather than reading word for word.
