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.

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.

Copy the sentence and the surrounding evidence that makes it a requirement. Underlining 'should' alone won't show that.

Beside the sentence, maybe write 'required, or just helpful?' Then check the surrounding text. On a fresh question, work it out again rather than assume 'should' means True.
