### 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://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/R/reread/#x1)

### 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.
