Describe the Say It, Cover It, Resay It method. (site 1)

someone already asked this so I'm just moving an answer over! It was done by redheadedbeast431

Explanation:

When reading a difficult text, use the Say It, Cover It, Resay It method:

Read aloud a sentence or chunk of text with difficult vocabulary.

Cover the text or look away from the text.

Resay the text using your own words.

If someone read up to the second comma in the first sentence from the Declaration of Independence above, they might resay it as: Sometimes during people’s lives, there comes a time for one group to break away from a government or other group they have been connected to.

Readers often find ways to make connections and associations with the texts they are reading. To do this, they might:

Find definitions of unfamiliar words. There will not be context clues for every word in a text, so it can be necessary to consult a dictionary.

Just keep reading. Sometimes reading further in a text can help you better understand or make sense of what has come before.

Take notes or use graphic organizers to help you track ideas and new concepts.

The final tip to reading difficult material is not to become frustrated if you do not understand a text right away. When you approach a point of frustration, take a break. Put the book aside and come back to it later or even the next day. There’s an actual name for this method—distributed reading. While you sleep, your brain can have time to process the material. When you return to the text the next day, it may be easier to understand. And if you find you cannot understand the text no matter what you try, ask for help. Your teachers, librarians, and classmates may be good resources to help you understand what you are missing.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
