This Grade 6 worksheet, “Determining Meaning of Words Using Context Clues,” teaches students to infer the meaning of unfamiliar words using textual hints rather than a dictionary.

It includes five activities, each targeting a different type of context clue—definition, example, contrast, inference, and mixed clues—followed by a complete answer key.

All activities use a multiple-choice format with bolded target words. An instructional example explains how context clues work, and the final page provides answers for all questions.
