Context Clues -- Graphic Organizers

Created by
Tess Sharp
I created this as a beginning of more graphic organizers to come! I love graphic organizers, so this is a start. I included 2 varieties of context clue graphic organizers that really just change the wording a bit. I have included an acronym, as well as a song describing how to find context clues. (These can be hung up as anchor charts in your classroom.) If you have any more questions about it, let me know, and I will try my best to answer them. I look forward to reading your feedback, Tess

This is a pdf that includes pictures, along with visuals of a variety of adjectives. I used this when teaching students in a SPED class. They relied on this booklet extensively, and it increased their speed and proficiency in writing. Not saying that it will work for all children, but why not try it out. This particular booklet would be six pages long, and includes color words, as well as weather, feelings, textures, and numbers. I recommend printing 3 pages per sheet, punching a hole in each up

About the store

Experience

I have spent 6 years teaching 2nd grade. This upcoming year I will be the Resource Teacher for grades PK to 6th at my district.

Teaching style

I believe differentiation is the key to student success. As educators, we must always find the data and utilize it to inform our instruction. The instruction we present to our students must also be based in research and proven to work!
