What children learn in Level 63
- When you read a new word, the other words in the sentence can give you clues! The puppy was so drowsy that it fell asleep in my lap.
- Fell asleep is the clue. So drowsy must mean sleepy!
- Some words have two meanings. A bat can be an animal, or a stick you hit a ball with.
- Read the sentence to see which meaning fits. A bat flew out of the cave. That's the animal! Ben swung the bat. That's the stick!
- Use clues around a word to figure out what it means.
