Hidden Word Clues

In this reading passage, students search for words with double meanings-homonyms-and explain each meaning in their own words. The short story uses everyday examples like bank, seal, and bark to create engaging context clues. After identifying each word, learners analyze how its meaning changes depending on usage. This activity strengthens reading comprehension, vocabulary understanding, and analytical skills. It’s an excellent way to integrate language study with narrative reading.
