READING STRATEGY: Active reading makes all the difference for English Language Paper 1! 📚 When approaching an unseen text, first skim-read to get the gist, then re-read with a highlighter, marking patterns and significant language features. Finally, annotate the margins with your thoughts on WHY the writer has made these choices. Our students reported 40% better comprehension using this three-step approach versus passive reading!
