Discuss how using the context and looking at the pictures can help you figure out the meaning of the Spanish words.   For example in the story the word vaca is used you can tell that it means cow because of the text and the picture.   As a second strategy punctuation can help predict the context of a sentence.  For example when there is a question being ask an upside down question mark is placed at the beginning of the sentence so that you can tell itŐs a question without reading the sentence.
