Lyrics:
Raise your hand if you have seen
A word you didn't know and had to find the meaning
I bet you felt hopeless, woe, and anxious
I bet you felt frustrated
Well, Ms. McCarthy's here to rescue you
She's gonna show just what you've got to do.
You've gotta use the context clues
Context clues?
You've gotta use the context clues , yeah.
Reread the sentences
Around the word or phrase
Visualize what's happening.
Plug in something from your brain.
Chorus:
I don't know this word or phrase
And I gotta find the meaning
It makes my head goes crazy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wait a minute, oh yeah, I recall
I know what to do after all.
Check out the clues around the word
To figure it out.
Use context clues.
You've gotta be careful 'cause you might get tricked.
They're called homographs with many definitions
They have more than one meaning.
Yeah, multiple meanings
Tell me, teach, how do I figure it out.
How do I know which one they're talking about.
You've gotta use the context clues
Context clues
You've gotta use the context clues, yeah.
Reread the sentences
Around the word or phrase
Visualize what's happening.
Plug in something from your brain.
Chorus:
I don't know this word or phrase
And I gotta find the meaning
It makes my head goes crazy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wait a minute, oh yeah, I recall
I know what to do after all.
Check out the clues around the word
To figure it out.
Use context clues.
Picture books and novels
Nonfiction text like articles
Expository, narratives, and plays
Song lyrics, tv shows, and movies
So many different types of text, you see
Require you to use context clues, easy
Spread the word, teach all your friends
Plug in something from your brain
I don't know this word or phrase
And I gotta find the meaning
It makes my head goes crazy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wait a minute, oh yeah, I recall
I know what to do after all.
Check out the clues around the word
To figure it out.
Use context clues.
