What can you do to help you understand as you read?
Have your revision guide open at the same time…read a section of
the revision guide before you read each part of the text.
Watch short animated versions of the text to give you an overview
before you start.
Have a dictionary nearby to check words.
Read in short bursts – 20 minutes for example. Write bullet point
notes in the margin at the end of the reading time. These should
check you have taken in what you have read. Also, you can re-read
the bullet notes to remind you where you got to before you start
reading again next time.
What can you do to help you build ideas as you read?

notes after each time you read.
