This set of 24 context clues task cards is perfect to use in so many ways…

• as a practice opportunity in literacy centers

• for small group work

Cards are made with an easy-to-read font and are available in color and black and white.

The ability to read a complex text and use “context clues” to help figure out new words is a critical skill for students who are working toward reading more challenging texts. Whether you teach from the Common Core or any other set of rigorous standards, using context clues is one many tools every reader should have in their reader’s toolbox!

Watch for students trying to explain their thinking by using the right part of speech | if the missing word is an adjective, the students should be able to recognize what KIND of word needs to be fit the missing spot.

Remember to model YOUR thinking when you come across tricky words in texts you share with the class as well.

Also included are several recording sheets and supplemental ideas to allow for flexibility of use. ENJOY!

This skill not only supports reading fluency but also boosts confidence in tackling complex texts. Additionally, a strong vocabulary is essential for effective communication, critical thinking, and academic success across all subjects. By mastering word parts and vocabulary early on, students are better equipped to handle the more advanced reading required in upper grades.

We all know how important that is!

Unfortunately, most upper elementary teachers are not provided an organized, systematic approach for helping students tackle this type of word work. This is how this resource came to be! After tons of research, exploration, and work–I have created a way for all of us to include this word study in our week–whether you want to dedicate 15 minutes per week or 15 or more minutes per day. I’ve got you covered!

In other words–I’ve given you an introductory lesson for 12 weeks of prefix instruction and then a variety of extensions to use if you wish.

The whole point of this resource is for you to be able to pick and choose from the included components. Check out the options!

• Background information about the Science of Reading and vocabulary instruction
• List of the 12 included prefixes to help you with your long range planning
• Ideas for use and strategies for implementation including an easy-to-use “kick off” minilesson for each morpheme (with 3 options for use)
• A page for each morpheme that explains its meaning, gives background, and then has a grid of 15 words that fit the pattern. This could be used to hang up in the classroom or passed out to students to keep as a part of a reference guide. (12 pages)
• A page for students to collect words on their own. The background information is included, but instead of a collection of pregathered words, the chart is blank for students to collect their own words from the book they read or from environmental print. (12 pages)
• A page for each morpheme to use as a “Class Collection” tool. I hang these up on a board for students to interact with and add words to as they find them. We also work to “notice” them in the books we share as a class.
• Blank pages for you to use if you have additional prefixes that you need to teach
• Tons of additional activities to supplement your word hunting!
• Print and digital access
• Everything you need for 12 full weeks of instruction!
• Also available bundled with all three morphemes–prefixes, suffixes, and roots for 36 weeks of instruction!
