Apply context clues steps to solve unknown words in reading text

1. Examine the unfamiliar word, then read the sentence before and after it.
2. Relate what you know to the text
3. Assume/predict a meaning
4. Confirm or revise your prediction.

Reread the sentence with your prediction in mind.

Is your prediction correct, or do you need to read further back or forward in the text to see if the author provides more hints? Is it necessary to consult a source other than the text? If this is the case, consult a dictionary or ask someone.
