4a:
Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and
multiple-meaning words and phrases based on
grade 7 reading and content, choosing flexibly
from a range of strategies.
a. Use context (e.g., the overall meaning of a
sentence or paragraph; a word's position
or function in a sentence) as a clue to the
meaning of a word or phrase.
b. Use common, grade-appropriate Greek or
Latin affixes and roots as clues to the meaning
of a word (e.g., belligerent, bellicose, rebel).
c. Consult general and specialized reference
materials (e.g., dictionaries, glossaries,
thesauruses), both print and digital, to find
the pronunciation of a word or determine
or clarify its precise meaning or its part of
speech.
d. Verify the preliminary determination of
the meaning of a word or phrase (e.g., by
checking the inferred meaning in context or in
a dictionary).
