When using context clues readers should not deteriorate their phonetic decoding skills. Having said that, early reading training does in fact make use of context cues. The important thing to remember is that context should be used to aid phonetic decoding (and subsequently orthographic mapping), not to take its place.

The seven strategies for using context clues while reading are:

  • Word Parts - To determine a word's meaning, dissect its various components, including the base word (also known as the word stem or root word), prefixes, and suffixes.
  • Identify any definitions or justifications that are contained inside the sentence.
  • Words next to an unidentified term may serve as a hint that it has a synonym.
  • Giving examples of the unfamiliar word can help readers understand its meaning.
  • Words and phrases like unlike, as opposed to, and different from can be used to offset the opposing information about the unknown term in an antonym or contrast.
  • Analogy: The meaning of a word is revealed through comparisons.
  • Look for the grammatical structure of appositives to find examples, synonyms, or definitions.

Therefore, when using context clues readers should not deteriorate their phonetic decoding skills. It is frequently helpful to consider what follows before and after a new word while attempting to understand its meaning. Readers can benefit from context hints regarding the new word's meaning, structure, and usage from the terms around it.

Read the following excerpt from "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker: "The truth is," I said, "I promised to give them quilts to Maggi
LenKa [72]

Answer:

A.  People connect with their culture by continually revisiting past traditions.

Explanation:

Alice Walker's <em>Everyday Use</em> revolves around the lives of the three women, mother-daughters, and their perception about what constitutes heritage, tradition, culture, and one's identity. Mama and Maggie may life in a dilapidated house but their sense of identity to their roots remains unbroken whereas the 'better educated' daughter Dee "Wangero" is more of a 'westernized' approach to her identity.

In the given passage, Dee hates the fact that her desired quilts were given to her sister Maggie who will only<em> "put them to everyday use" </em>whereas her own plan was to put them up like some souvenir and put in on display and not use it. The narrator Mama recollects the time when she had offered those same quilts to her when she first went to college but she had called them <em>"old-fashioned, out of style"</em> and refused to take them. And now that she's had a place of her own, she wanted to 'show-off' her heritage and tradition and use it as a way to 'decorate' her house. So, <u><em>judging by the way the author decided to portray the characters to their relationship with the quilt, the book's title </em></u><u><em>Everyday Use</em></u><u><em> seemed likely to signify how people connect and feel connected with their culture through the frequent revisiting of past traditions. </em></u>

Thus, the<u> correct answer is option A. </u>
