Winny stands next to a big touch screen showing the drawing of an elephant next to a text and a magnifying glass. She is in her mid-twenties, with long straight brown hair. She wears glasses and a blue T-shirt with a print that reads "Home Work Zone."

Winny says LOOKING FOR TIPS ON READING
AND READING COMPREHENSION,
I'M TEACHER WINNIE.
LET'S GO TO THE SMARTBOARD.
TODAY WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT
USING CONTEXT CLUES
TO HELP US FIGURE OUT WORDS
THAT WE MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND.
SO LET'S READ
THE PARAGRAPH TOGETHER.

She reads BEARS ARE BIG, BUT COMPARED TO
THEM, ELEPHANTS ARE ENORMOUS!
THE SIZE OF THESE CREATURES
HELP THEM CARRY BIG TREES
FROM ONE AREA TO ANOTHER
AND DEFEND AGAINST PREDATORS.
WELL, LET'S LOOK AT
THE WORD "ENORMOUS."

She circles the word and continues THAT MIGHT BE A WORD THAT
NOT EVERYBODY WILL KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS.
THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO
READ AROUND THE WORD.
THAT MEANS WE READ BEFORE
AND AFTER.
SO LET'S READ
THE SENTENCE BEFORE
AND SEE IF WE CAN FIND
SOME CLUES TO HELP US.
BEARS ARE BIG, BUT COMPARED TO
THEM, ELEPHANTS ARE ENORMOUS!
SO WHEN WE LOOK AT, "BEARS
ARE BIG," WE KNOW THAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SIZE OF
THE BEAR, AND WE CONTINUE,
"BUT COMPARED TO THEM,
ELEPHANTS ARE ENORMOUS."
SO IF BEARS ARE BIG AND THEY'RE
TALKING ABOUT ELEPHANTS,
I THINK IT HAS TO DO
SOMETHING WITH THE SIZE.
LET'S CARRY ON
AND SEE IF THAT'S RIGHT.
"THE SIZE OF THESE CREATURES
HELP THEM TO CARRY BIG TREES
FROM ONE AREA TO ANOTHER
AND DEFEND AGAINST PREDATORS."
THEY'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT
THE SIZE OF THE CREATURE,
SO THAT'S THE ELEPHANT, AND
HELPING TO CARRY BIG TREES.
SO IN ORDER FOR ELEPHANTS
TO CARRY BIG TREES,
THEY MUST BE
PRETTY BIG THEMSELVES.
SO I'M GONNA GUESS THE WORD
"ENORMOUS" MEANS "BIG."
NOW, THERE'S A COUPLE
OF WAYS WE CAN WORK
WHEN WE DON'T UNDERSTAND A WORD.
WE CAN READ AROUND THE WORD AND
MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN SEE
IF THERE'S ANY CLUES FOR US TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT WORD MEANS.
SO IF YOU EVER GET STUCK, TRY
TO READ AROUND THE WORD FIRST.
I'M TEACHER WINNIE.
I HOPE THOSE TIPS HELP.
