Context Clues Sometimes when you are reading, you come across a word you don’tknow. The author may give you an antonym for the word. An antonym is a word that means the opposite of a word.For example, empty is the opposite of full. Look for a word that might be an antonym. It can help you understand the meaning of a word you don’t know.
1. Look at the words around the word you don’t know. The author may have used an antonym.
2. Look for words that seem to have opposite meanings. Think about the word you know.
3. Use that word to help you figure out the meaning of its antonym.
As you read “Farming,” look for antonyms for the vocabulary words.

What is the sound of each letter?Do we hear both sounds when we say the word clever?
When I see two or three consonants at the beginning or end of a word, I try blending them together as I say the word. I say all the sounds without pausing between them. If the word sounds right, I know it begins or ends with a consonant blend.
Read these words out loud andthen underline the two- or three-letter consonant blends.
