Context Clues Practice

Four editable PowerPoint decks provide 100 multiple-choice questions about vocabulary in context. Each 54-slide deck contains 25 questions, marked answer slides and a blank response sheet.

A one-page review explains common clue types, including definitions, synonyms, antonyms and examples. A two-page catalog and one-page closing PDF are also supplied, for 216 slides and four PDF pages overall.

Ask students to identify the sentence clue supporting each choice. Some items also require prior vocabulary knowledge. The full supplementary activity packs are separate downloads.
