This educational poster is designed for classroom use and aids children in mastering the concept of context clues. It focuses on two specific types of context clues: cause/effect and comparison, offering visual examples to guide young learners. Words frequently indicating a cause/effect relationship in a text are highlighted, enabling students to recognize and interpret these signals.
In addition, the poster lists vital words that denote a comparison, such as "like," "unlike," "likewise," "but," "not," "in contrast to," "similar to," and "in the same way." By showcasing these context clues, the poster helps students understand how authors provide hints within the text to decipher the meanings of unfamiliar terms or phrases.
