Recognizing
Reference markers will help you read a difficult article. If you come across a word that is difficult or something you don’t understand, do not worry. The author will often repeat the word in a different way. Read the third paragraph using the strategyHomework:1.Do parts A1 and A2 on page 110 in Workbook
