### sense in the lessons

In reading and English lessons rereading is a strategy: reread a sentence that does not make sense, reread a question before you answer, and reread your own writing to edit it. In maths, rereading the problem helps you find the numbers that matter. Phrases: «reread the question», «reread the text».

### examples

- Always reread the question before you start. [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/R/reread/#x1)
- I reread my favourite book every summer. [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/R/reread/#x2)
- If a sentence is confusing, reread it slowly. [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/R/reread/#x3)
- She reread the letter three times. [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/R/reread/#x4)
- Reread your story and check the spelling. [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/R/reread/#x5)
- Harry Potter is worth a reread. [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/R/reread/#x6)

### note

Irregular: reread, reread, reread (spelt the same, but the past is said «ree-RED»). Sometimes spelt «re-read» in the UK. A key exam habit: many maths mistakes come from not rereading the question.

### In the corpora

- [You do not need to reread the whole text for every question.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/english/17-retrieval-finding-the-answer-in-the-text/8/)
