Activity
When you skim a book or read synopses, you miss the opportunity to see the beauty of the language, or
important details that may help you understand the author’s message. Just as it is vital to read test directions that
include details that may affect your answer, it is important to give the same attention to a work of literature to
get the most out of it. Test your reading skills by completing the crossword puzzle without using your book.
