Reading

Today we are going to be exploring words within the context of the text. You are going to be reading sentences and identifying what the meaning of a word is within that sentence.

Step 1

Look at the next 2 slides. We are going to identify what 'Multiple Meaning Words' are. 

 

Have you ever come across a word that means two different things but is spelt the same? I bet you have. Sometimes words are spelt the same but have completely different meanings. 

Step 2

Look at the example below at the word 'Set'. It can have four different meanings. NO WAY!

Step 3

Have a go at the model below. Can you work out what the word charge means in the sentence?

 

Check the answer below to see if you were correct.

Step 4

Have a go at the model below. Can you work out what the word float means in the sentence?

 

Check the answer below to see if you were correct.

Task

There are 4 questions to complete. Read the sentence in each question. Then identify what the underlined word means in that sentence. 

 

Just like the model.
