Clue Catcher ™ is an application designed by a Speech Language Pathologist for use by other Speech Language Pathologists, Special Educators, General Education Teachers and even parents. The purpose is to teach students how to improve their skills to use context to determine unfamiliar word meanings.
This app will provide opportunities to learn the two most important skills necessary to define unknown or unfamiliar words using the context of the sentence.
- Clue Catcher ™ will help the student to identify the words/phrases within a sentence that are meaningful and contribute to a better understanding of an unfamiliar word’s meaning (the clues)
- Clue Catcher ™ will show the student how to understand and relate to those ‘clues’ in a way that gives meaning to the unfamiliar word.
Clue Catcher ™ was developed by a Speech Language Pathologist to provide the framework for teachers to work with students individually or in the form of a group lesson. The intent is not to teach vocabulary, per se, however with exposure to vocabulary in context it is not unreasonable that the students will broaden their vocabulary base. Vocabulary was culled from grade level literature, and there may be some, minimal, duplication of vocabulary across the grade levels. A simple counter will provide raw data consisting of correct/incorrect responses to track student progress.
