Clues to Complete

In this worksheet, students read a descriptive passage and use context clues to fill in missing words from a provided word bank. They must determine which vocabulary word best completes each sentence based on meaning, tone, and surrounding details. This activity strengthens students’ ability to interpret implied meanings and identify subtle textual hints. After completing the blanks, students reread the entire passage to ensure their choices create a smooth and logical flow. The exercise helps build vocabulary comprehension and reinforces the importance of careful reading. Students also practice distinguishing between several possible words with similar connotations. This enhances both accuracy and reading confidence.
