Key learning points
- Identifying and avoiding distractors is key to ensuring we don't jump to the wrong conclusions during reading tasks.
- Active reading strategies support reading comprehension and accuracy in responses.
Words to know
- distractor
- incorrect but plausible answer option in reading tasks, designed to test your attention to detail

Common mistakes
Reading and re-reading a text is always an effective way to read for understanding and get the right answers to comprehension questions.
Simply reading and re-reading a text isn't always the most effective way to read for understanding. Using active reading strategies such as reading the title and reading and annotating the questions can boost comprehension and accuracy in responses.
For parents, carers and teachers
