Skills & Standards

---

Built for the TEKS framework, these worksheets support crosscutting concepts such as patterns in word structure and communication through careful language choices. Students practice disciplinary core ideas tied to ELA comprehension and craft and structure: applying word analysis to understand vocabulary, interpreting figurative language, and using context clues to determine meaning. Each activity includes opportunities for modeling (teacher think-alouds for root/figurative/context clues), analytical reasoning (decoding meaning from evidence), and evidence-based explanations (justifying answers with details from the text and the word itself).

Perfect For

---

• Teachers seeking structured instruction
• Sub plans
• Homework or review
• Intervention or centers
• Assessment preparation

How to Use

---

Plan a multi-day pacing flow across the 5 worksheets—for example, 1 day each for word parts and figurative language, 1 day for figurative devices, and 2 days for context meaning and context clue precision. For whole-group instruction, model one strategy per day (root meaning, figurative interpretation, or context inference), then have students complete the worksheet with partners before an independent check. For centers or intervention, place one worksheet at each station and include a brief “claim and evidence” sentence frame to help students explain their reasoning. If using it as review before an assessment, do a quick warm-up reread, complete the worksheet sections that match the class data, and finish with a short exit ticket focused on the target strategy.
