What is the 3 Read Strategy?
You read the passage really fast 3 times and answer questions.
You skim the passage, then read and jot notes. The third read is where you read Q & As and go back to re-read the passage for the answer.
Read each paragraph 3 times.
Read the question 3 times then answer it.
Why is it important to read passages more than 1 time?
Because Mrs. B says so...
Because then I can read it in funny voices
Because it helps you remember what you've read.
What do you do if you're stuck on a question?
Try to find the correct answer (give yourself time), and if you still can't figure it out, skip it and come back at the end.
Give up & Guess.
Keep working until you find the answer.
Skip and forget to go back to it.
What do you do if you think 2 answers look right?
If it is a math question, try to solve the problem again - check for any errors you may have made.
If it is a reading test, remember - GOLDILOCKS - not too much, not too little
Do "eeny meeny meiny mo" until you find the correct answer

It tells the state everything you were able to correctly answer on a certain test on a certain day.
