Summary

Reading a passage once, then answering questions about it accurately, requires more than recognising the words on the page — it requires processing and retaining what those words actually mean. This topic covers strategies for internalising a passage while reading it, and for working out unfamiliar vocabulary without stopping to look every word up.
