In Context

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 to strengthen vocabulary precision and reading comprehension through context-based word selection. Students read sentences and choose the correct prefix-based word from a set of options, relying on context clues, sentence logic, and word structure to identify the best fit. By underlining their choice, learners actively engage in close reading and morphological analysis.
