Teach children to find the answer using three clues:
- Read the whole sentence.
- Look for the meaning clue.
- Check which word fits grammatically.
💡 Example: “Houses made with natural materials are ______ and ______.”
❌ Is honey correct? No.
✅ Is affordable correct? Yes.
✅ What other word means environmentally friendly? sustainable ✅
This teaches reasoning, not memorisation.
