01 / UNDERSTAND

Here is what is happening.

Search words guide which pages you find. “Plants” is broad; “why leaves have veins for children” is more focused. A result near the top is not automatically correct. Look for who published it and whether it actually answers your question. Work with an adult when browsing.

Pause. Make the idea your own.

Explain one idea to a partner, draw it or write it in your own words. Which part is an observation, an example or a question?

You can use a home language. No need to share personal experiences or finish everything in one sitting.
02 / MAKE IT YOUR OWN
