Meaning and definition of context cues :

 

Cues and hints that the words and sentences surrounding an unknown word give to the reader to help identify words for decoding (sounding out) and words being read for the first-time. The reader’s speaking vocabulary is a back-up strategy and is primarily useful to resolve ambiguity (is bread pronounced bred or breed?) and to confirm the accuracy of decoding (does it make sense and does it sound right?) The context helps resolve which shade of meaning is intended (prog-res or pro-gress) and may be helpful in learning the meaning of new words that can be decoded or pronounced but are not yet in the reader’s vocabulary- especially if the context contains clues from synonyms or antonyms, clues contained in comparison and contrast or clues contained in a definition or a description, clues provided by the tone and setting, clues derived from cause and effect, and clues that appear in a series.

 

For the term context cues may also exist other definitions and meanings, the meaning and definition indicated above are indicative not be used for medical and legal or special purposes.
