How to teach vocabulary in a reading passage?

I strongly believe that learning vocabulary in context helps people make connections for better comprehension. In fact there are various strategies that can help students understand and incorporate new words effectively.

The best way is to know a new word is to understand its context, or circumstances by setting the scene itself.

It is also helpful to find clues within the sentence that suggest the word's meaning such as the word`s part of speech or the word formation along with making connections with familiar words.
