Readers use strategies to support interpretation of text. Understanding new words and concepts enhance comprehension and oral and written communication. TEKS The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) listed below are the standards adopted by the State Board of Education, which are required by Texas law. Any standard that has a strike-through (e.g. sample phrase) indicates that portion of the standard is taught in a previous or subsequent unit. The TEKS are available on the Texas Education Agency website at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=6148. 8.2 Reading/Vocabulary Development. Students understand new vocabulary and use it when reading and writing. Students are expected to: 8.2B Use context (within a sentence and in larger sections of text) to determine or clarify the meaning of unfamiliar or ambiguous words or words with novel meanings.
