- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide sentence frames such as "The word ___ means ___ because the text says ___," and pre-highlight the clue words in short passages.
- Extension for advanced students: Have them compare two texts where the same unknown word carries a slightly different meaning, and explain how the context changes the interpretation.
