Method 3 is the method of finding a student’s misunderstood word by having him look earlier in the text than where he is having trouble for a word he doesn’t understand. The student simply looks for the word, the word is found, and then cleared using a good dictionary. | Method 3 is the method of finding a student’s misunderstood word by having him look earlier in the text than where he is having trouble for a word he doesn’t understand.

Method 3 is routinely used by the supervisor. It is done by twins on each other as needed. And of course the student should use it himself when ever he runs into any trouble. | Method 3 is routinely used by the supervisor. It is done by twins on each other as needed.

A student who knows his study tech will look up each word he comes across that he doesn’t understand. If he comes to something he doesn’t grasp he will look over it carefully for any misunderstood words and clear these up. | A student who knows his study tech will look up each word he comes across that he doesn’t understand.

But when a student has cleared all the words and he still can’t understand it or disagrees with it; or when a student bogs down, or becomes dull, or is just not as bright as before, it is because the student has passed a word he didn’t understand before he started having trouble. | But when a student has cleared all the words and he still can’t understand it or disagrees with it; or when a student bogs down, or becomes dull, or is just not as bright as before, it is because the student has passed a word he didn’t understand before he started having trouble. |
This will be very clear to you if you understand that if it is not resolving, the thing the student is apparently having trouble with is not the thing the student is having trouble with otherwise it would resolve, wouldn’t it? The trouble is earlier. If he knew what he didn’t understand he could resolve it himself. So to talk with him about what he thinks he doesn’t understand just gets nowhere. | This will be very clear to you if you understand that if it is not resolving, the thing the student is apparently having trouble with is not the thing the student is having trouble with otherwise it would resolve, wouldn’t it?

Good word clearing is a system of backtracking. You have to look earlier than the point the student become dull or confused and you’ll find that there’s a word that he doesn’t understand somewhere before the trouble started. The student will brighten up the moment he spots the word, even before the word is cleared. And if he doesn’t brighten up there will be a misunderstood word even before that one. | Good word clearing is a system of backtracking.

The student reads the text that contains the word that was misunderstood. If the student is not now bright then there is a misunderstood word even earlier in the text that must be found.
