Use Context to Self-Correct Reading Practice Test
•8 QuestionsAt the community science night, Maya practiced her speech. She will present her model of a volcano to the judges, and afterward she will hand her little brother a present she wrapped in shiny paper.
Before her turn, Maya read the rules yesterday, so she knew the time limit. Now she read the first note card again to calm down.
Her friend Luis was the volunteer guide. He would lead families to each table, but he also warned them not to drink from the old lead pipes in the closed hallway.
Maya felt a tear slide down her cheek when she saw her parents smiling. She tried not to tear the paper on her brother’s gift.
If a reader first reads the word lead in the sentence “He would lead families to each table” as the metal (led), what context clue would help them self-correct?
