List the four steps to using word structure strategy when trying to determine the meaning of an unfamiliar word

The four steps to using word structure strategy when trying to determine the meaning of an unfamiliar word are:

1. Use context clues and word signals

Sometimes, the given of that unfamiliar word is through the meaning of the sentence. there are also times that the word may have a similar meaning (synonym) or different in meaning (antonym).

2. Use word parts

Word part such as the root word. Sometimes the root word are preceded by a prefix, followed by a suffix or inside such as infix.

3. If you are already familiar of the word, then you may use it in a sentence if it fits or not.

4. Use dictionary if all else fails

Sometimes, you just can't get the word right because all of the clues are hard to decipher.
