An ending should show what changed, not announce a lesson. Four endings that work, with the weak version beside each one.

Openings decide whether a marker reads with interest or with patience. Five that work, each with a worked example — and the three to stop using.

The picture you pick decides how hard the next fifty minutes will be. Four questions to ask before you commit — and the trap most children fall into.

Checking is not rereading. Rereading catches almost nothing. Four passes, one minute each, aimed at the faults that actually cost marks.

Lifting from the passage is the most common comprehension habit and one of the most costly. How to transform an answer instead of copying it.
