Reading Skill Practice: Using Context to Find the Meaning of Unknown Words

When you are taking a reading test and come to a word that you don't know, don't let it slow you down. Think of yourself as a reading detective. Find clues in the context (words you do know that are around the word you don't know) that help you guess the meaning of the new word. You can often answer a question about what you read, even if you don't know what every single word in the reading  means.
