I got a book through Scholastic. (dividends) I want to recommend Using Context Clues to Help Kids Tackle Unfamiliar words. This is a great way to introduce and practice the skill in many ways. Check on it at Scholastic.

Just wrote a lesson on Context Clues. Thanks for posting this.
I need some idea of what the students can do after they have listened to a book in the listening center? I need some ideas on an inference activity to do after listening to a book.
I have the Scholastic book-Using Context Clues to Help Kids Tackle Words and it is excellent. You never have to plan lessons for context clues-- it's all there in the book for you and your students.
I am looking for a student math book. I really just need to figure out the publisher. All I know is that there is a picture of crane (the bird) and gears on the cover of the student edition (hardcover) book.
You don't say where you are but my son was assigned to do a 'weather diary' and he and I both thought that it would be totally boring but -it wasn't. I realized that I had never in my life truly looked at the weather from day to day. I listened to a description of it on the radio every morning but I'd never really observed the weather and the changes in it. I tried to protect myself from it and endure it but not really watched it.
Point made. Every day because of his diary, we looked outside - briefly in the morning but took a longer look in the afternoon. There are things to be seen especially in fall and spring - the seasons of real change. And changes from day to day that can be observed and we found it amazing. The weather is really a great drama that the earth acts out, scene by scene.
So I'm suggesting a daily weather observation focusing on things like the color of the sky - it has a thousand hues and the shape and color of the clouds - we have dozens of different types of clouds. The leaves on the trees, the color changing - depending on where you are - it's amazing. If you're in a climate with fall, the earth is giving one last burst of magnificent color before dropping the leaves and going to rest.
PUnch in 'weather lessons' on google and a ton of great things comes up. Try the same on youtube. Have fun. My son and I really did have fun with his weather diary.
