Brain ticklers—the answers
Your reading voices

Set # 3, page 43

1. d. Remember, first you recite or say the words, then your conversation voice begins talking to the text. Your distracting voice, which may be thinking of a party, may interrupt your conversation voice.

2. b. When you make an inference, you read between the lines. You figure out what the author says based on what clues he or she leaves in the text, so making an inference is most similar to being a detective.

3. a. Good readers are visualizing the images the words create and recording and remembering the words, which is what a video camera does. It helps make the people, events, and facts permanent.
