1. Context Clues
Learning the meaning of words from the context of your reading material can be the most useful
strategy to increase your vocabulary comprehension. Using the context that surrounds an unknown
word helps to reveal its meaning.

2. Word Structure

Sometimes a word can give clues to the meaning in its structure. Analyzing the word’s structure and
properties is a vocabulary strategy that you can use to figure out the word’s meaning. When you
approach an unknown word, you can guess at its meaning by breaking down the parts of the word.

3. Visual-Aural Association

When you use visual-aural association, you think of a word that either looks like or sounds like the word
whose meaning you are trying to learn. Thinking of the picture of the look-alike word and/or image will
help you remember the word and its meaning.

4. Dictionary

The best way to improve your vocabulary is to carry a pocket dictionary to look up new words as you
encounter them. Or, you can collect a list of new words you encounter to look up at the end of the day.
