Today we got in groups and discussed the parts we had read with our groups and filled out a worksheet and such busy work like that. One thing I noticed is something Im not sure if it is normal or not for this to happen. There was a passages section, and it had 6 passages. There were 5 that I had completely not seen before(you know how when your superreading/etc. your goin through you notice lines that you have already read and such like that and know what part its talking about there and just keep goin right over it? anyways, at least I do) but I hadnt seen them before I dont think. Is this normal? I really hadnt ever seen them before during any of my "reading" of the book. I could kinda make sense about what he was probably referring to in the passages but I hadnt recognized any of the passages or sentences themselves. It was also harder for me to make sense about them than it was for the other people in the group that had read the book word for word and had already read the passages. All I could do was assume what he was talking about and all, when they actually knew. Sometimes I was pretty close on the whole concept in the passage while others I wasnt. Is this normal? Is there any way to help with this? Most tests I usually have over novels have some sort of passages/quotes section that I need to know who is saying what quote or what the concept is in the passage. Last year I tried photoreading a little when I first started but the test on that book was pretty hard for the passages and quotes section.
