Good morning! When encountering an unfamiliar word, the first step readers should take is to use context clues near the word. Context clues are words or phrases in the surrounding text that can provide hints about the meaning of the unfamiliar word. By paying attention to the context, such as the words or sentences that come before or after the unfamiliar word, readers can often deduce the meaning without having to look it up in a dictionary or use a thesaurus.
