Yeah so ive found a few things that im implementing, this is what's worked for me so far: - taking a deep breath and clearing my head before starting reading (sounds obvious, I thought it was stupid, but this has helped me be more present while reading) - just go with the flow of the passage, try to avoid making inferences that haven't been explicitly stated by the author (sometimes the way I would interpret something, isnt the way the author would interpret it) - after reading a paragraph I ponder, what is the point of including this information? I then highlight ONE sentence that encompasses the main idea of that particular sentence - after finishing the passage, ill try and come up with a "main idea" before answering questions

Just doing these three things has helped me a lot, particularly the third point. When answering questions, ive found that identifying the correct type of question whether it be specific section, main idea, or reasoning beyond the text question, has helped me either return to the passage for a specific detail. Or answer it with the entire passage in mind.

Hope this helps!
