Context Clues or Word Configuration

Context clues are the parts of a piece of writing or speech that help give the full meaning of a word.

When two short words are put together, the meaning changes, like in the words sun and light. When we put them together, it becomes sunlight. We call this word a compound word.

cup+board = cupboard

side+walk = sidewalk

play+ground = playground
