Context Clues: Fall BOOM cards
Description
Context clues are important skills for students to learn. Unfortunately, many older kids struggle with these basic reading skills. These cards were made with striving middle school readers in mind. Each card has a couple of short sentences with a (probably) unknown word. It is the students' job to do one of 4 things: figure out the word being defined, synonyms, antonyms, and to make inferences.
Small drag and drop brain breaks are added to motivate students.
