Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 10   AIL 0958 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Reading a Prose Passage Under Time

Captions available

The idea

Read the first two sentences closely for the voice, then the rest at pace for the sense, then return to any sentence a question points at. The voice is established early and rarely changes, so the close reading is worth spending at the start.

In practice

Two sentences close, then pace.

Where people slip

The voice is established early.
