Is it fact? Is it opinion?
How can you tell??
A fact is a statement that can be proved true or false.
The pizza restaurant is open.
Can you prove is this is true or false? HOW??
An opinion is a statement that cannot be proven true or false
because it tells ideas
or feelings.
Clue words for opinions are best, beautiful and
should show statements of opinions.
Paul’s has the BEST pizza in the whole wide world!

Yikes!
I am reading a GREAT story, but I don’t know this
word!! What should I do??
I KNOW! I will be a reading
detective!
I will look for CONTEXT CLUES!
Look at the words AROUND the word you
don’t know to see if they can help.
Use other words around it to figure out another meaning. Try the new meaning in the sentence. Does it make sense?
Other ways to find out what the word is are to try:
Looking in a dictionary or glossary.
Look at the word parts.
You might understand the “base” word and an ending. When you put this information together it might give you the meaning of an unknown word.
Sometimes we can look for context clues in words and sentences around the unknown word.
