5th Grade Context Clues Worksheets
Ages 10-11 · 1 sub-topic · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs
These context clues worksheets for 5th grade ask students to reason out harder words from the text around them (CCSS L.5.4.A). Students use details to infer words like parched and meticulous, follow contrast signals such as but, unlike and however, read a lighthouse keeper passage to define perilous and vigilant, and use dictionary entries plus context to choose the meaning of multiple meaning words like draft, pitch and bluff. Four original sheets, each with an answer key, push past simple definition clues.
