Core reading skills
Practice central ideas, supporting details, inference, vocabulary in context, author purpose, text structure, and relationships between claims and evidence.
Use evidence from the text
When two choices seem possible, return to the exact wording of the passage. The best answer should be supported by the text and should match the scope of the question.
Build accuracy before speed
Start untimed and focus on evidence. Once your accuracy becomes more consistent, use paced practice to make your reading decisions more efficient.
