Look Around the Word or Phrase. Look for clues in the words or sentences around the word you don’t know and the context of the paragraph or selection. 4. Look Beyond the Word or Phrase. Look for the meaning of the word or phrase in a dictionary, glossary, or thesaurus. 5. Check the Meaning.

How the Elephant Got Its Long Nose A long time ago, elephants had short noses. But one day, a crocodile bit a young elephant on the nose. The elephant tried to pull away. As he pulled and pulled, his nose got longer and longer. When he pulled free, his nose was five feet long! He didn’t like it at first. Then he found new things to do with his long nose.
