Answer key

For grown-ups. Fold this page away before handing over the rest.

Use context clues first · Context clues and word parts often unlock the meaning. Guessing first also makes the confirmed meaning stick harder.
Shape, then hard parts, then summary from memory · Shape first gives the map, wrestling second does the work, memory third proves it stuck.
True · True. Recall proves the idea moved into your head. Highlights only prove your pen moved.
Recap, name it, re-enter · Hopeful staring never surrenders meaning. Naming the confusion clearly is already halfway to solving it.
When it returns or carries the argument · Pivotal or repeated terms repay the stop. Passing details cost momentum you will need later.
A gear mismatch · Same sleepy pace for every text exhausts you or leaves you lost. Matching gear to goal drops the difficulty.
Bel, since translating ideas forces meaning · Copying lets the hand work while the mind naps. Translating forces the decision where learning happens.
Close the book, write what he remembers, use clues or a dictionary, then reread · Attempt, check, and repair moves ideas into the head. Colourful highlights only feel productive.
