Study for Comprehension

• Expect to work with new material for an extended period of time:

  • Read, watch, or listen to the media multiple times. YouTube and podcast/music apps often have an option to slow down the audio, which you can use as needed.
  • First try to understand as much as you can without consulting a dictionary or other resource.
  • Then consult other resources as needed.

• Check your comprehension:

  • Create a reverse outline of the material: What is the main idea or message? What are the supporting details?
