This work involves practicing using prior knowledge, context clues, and word parts to understand new or difficult vocabulary. You are strongly encouraged to use those tools before consulting a dictionary! This is work that is not about having the right answer as much as it is having reliable processes for getting the right answer, so you know what to do when you don't have access to a dictionary (or the Internet).
