Which reading strategy will best help Isadora increase her comprehension? Isadora is reading a science article about advancements in carbon dating. The article has many long sentences and scientific terms.

Answer
A
visualizing the meanings of words she does not understand
B
scanning the text to predict what the next section will be about
C
increasing speed to skip over the confusing part of the text
D
decreasing speed to better understand complex words or ideas

Explanation

Isadora’s article contains long sentences and unfamiliar scientific terms, so she should slow down and take time to work through complex ideas. Decreasing her reading speed can help her understand the words and how they fit together. Skipping confusing parts would make comprehension worse, and visualizing words alone may not clarify scientific concepts.
