Ermmmmmm… Do you know what is conceptual clues actually?? Words or phrases around an unfamiliar word which can help you understand the meaning of this new word are called “CONCEPTUAL CLUES”.

These are some conceptual clues guideline:

1)  After the word or that directly follow the unfamiliar word.

-      Example: the trek, or journey, became more challenging as we approached the top of the mountain.

2)  Authors often use punctuation clues to help the reader. Punctuation clues might include commas, dashes, or parentheses.

-      Example: in order to keep the dogs inside the yard, we built a parapet, a low wall or railing.

3)  Before the word called.

-      Example: the worm ate the middle layer of the peach, which is called the mesocarp.

4)  In the previous sentence.
