Common misconception
Reading and re-reading a text is always an effective way to read for understanding and get the right answers to comprehension questions.
Simply reading and re-reading a text isn't always the most effective way to read for understanding. Using active reading strategies such as reading the title and reading and annotating the questions can boost comprehension and accuracy in responses.
