This skill gets better the more you read, so making time to read will help! Explicit meanings are stated directly in the text, so close reading is key here.

What effect do the specific words chosen by the author have on the tone of the piece?

How is the text organized?

How do smaller parts relate to the big picture? In what ways do they support or are they connected?

Who is telling the story and how much information do they have? Why is the author writing the passage?
