What to Focus On

  • Reading improves vocabulary, critical thinking skills, and concentration.

  • Questions may ask for facts, meaning, character motives, or the writer's intention.
  • First read: understand what the passage is about.
  • Second read: identify the main points.
  • Third read: find unknown words and infer meaning from context.
  • Explicit questions ask for clear facts from the passage.

  • Answers should use keywords from the passage but not copy everything.
