We can use context to help us make predictions about the text. We can use other words in the sentence to help us clarify meaning of words or sentences you do not understand. Considering the questions that arise as we read and looking for hints at the answers, deepens our understanding. To demonstrate our comprehension, we need to be able to summarise what we have read. Picking out relevant quotes can demonstrate our comprehension of a text.
