  5. I have improved the percentage at which I am correct through tests. I have achieved this by remembering to re-read questions multiple times and understanding what the question is asking for.

  6. I have improved my note taking for reciprocal reading. instead of just highlighting text, I now highlight and clarify while taking notes to help me get a better understanding of the text I am reading.

  7. I have improved on my reciprocal reading. Specifically my synonyms/antonyms and note taking. I used to hardly ever note take but now I understand the text a lot more as I organise my thoughts, questions and clarifications.

  8. I have improved at clarifying different words without the use of a dictionary. I did this by reading the entire sentence and using the clues from the text to figure out the meaning. The use of antonyms and synonyms has also helped,
