Main IdeaQuestion 5
Regular short review sessions helped a student remember more vocabulary than one long session each week. What does the passage suggest?
Read for purpose first
Before choosing an answer, identify what the passage is mainly trying to communicate. This helps eliminate answer choices that are true in general but not supported by the text.
Use evidence, not assumptions
Paragraph Comprehension questions should be answered from the passage itself. Practice separating what the author actually states from what you already know about the topic.
Pair verbal practice with Word Knowledge
Stronger vocabulary makes reading questions easier because fewer words interrupt comprehension. Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension reinforce one another.
LEARN → PRACTICE → TEST → REVIEW
