Build Your Vocabulary Day 10

Contextual vocabulary can help students by making it easier for them to understand and remember new words. When students encounter new vocabulary in the context of a sentence or story, they can use the surrounding words and ideas to figure out the meaning. This approach not only aids comprehension but also helps students retain the word by associating it with a real-life situation or example. For instance, if a student reads the sentence, "The sun was scorching, making it too hot to play outside," they can infer that "scorching" means very hot. This method makes learning new words more intuitive and effective.
