What does one entry in your Reading error notes look like? The phrase you missed, why the wrong answer was tempting, or both? Also how do you check it helped on a new passage? Repeating one you remember doesn't seem a fair test.

Made-up note: Summary completion: used two words for ONE WORD ONLY. Next time: check the limit first. Then try a fresh question and see if it happens again. No need to copy the whole task.

What if the explanation still doesn't make sense? Could mark it 'not understood yet' and write the exact bit to ask about.

This learner chose False where the book gives True, over music-reading ability being essential. They read 'should' differently from 'must'. What surrounding evidence belongs in the note? I wouldn't turn it into a rule that should always means must.

Does ONE WORD ONLY tell us anything about singular or plural? Or do we need the full question and, for Listening, the audio too?
