Finding definitions of words can never be easy. Although many strategies are known, some may be difficult for people to learn. However, today, I will be listing three of the strategoies. FIrst one is using context clues. This strategy is the most common and most known. To use this strategy, you find the sentence where the undefined word is and examine it. While examining, you look for other words that may indicate to the definition of the unknown word. For example, lets say I don't kn ow the definition of the word "Idyllic" is. The sentence the word is found in is, "It was an idyllic day - sunny, warm, and perfect for a walk in the park." Now we examine. After it says the mysterious word it describes the day. They say it is "sunny, warm, and perfect for a walk in the park", using context clues, the word is now defined. The second strategy is, using the parts of the word. This includes the word's prefix, suffix, and roots. To explain it better, I will include an example. For the example, let us pretend I do not know the meaning of the word "kindness." The word has the suffix "ness" which means the state or quality of something. We know that being kind means good behavior towards someone or something, so if we put two and two together, we get the state or quality of having nice behavior. Now, for the final strategy it will be, the use of reference materials. Students, including I can and could use a dictionary or thesauruses to find the meaning of a word. To put it this way, people use the dictionary, glossary, or thesaurus to find the meaning of a word. To use these books, you look for the specific word. These books are organized in alphabetical order so if I were to be searching for the word "Euphoria", it would be in the section with all the words that begin with the letter "E." This strategy might even be the easiest of them all! Nevertheless, that is three strategies listed.
