Context clues provide additional information surrounding a word or phrase that can help a reader understand its meaning. By analyzing the context in which the word is used, a reader can infer its definition, leading to a deeper comprehension of the text. This helps to improve vocabulary and language skills while enhancing overall reading comprehension.
