Etymology

The word 'reread' originates from the prefix 're-', meaning 'again', combined with 'read', which comes from the Old English 'rฤ“dan', meaning 'to advise, interpret, or explain'. The concept of reading again suggests returning to a previously engaged text for further exploration or understanding. It has been a practice throughout literary history, reflecting the notion that texts can yield different meanings upon subsequent readings. As the habit of rereading became more recognized in educational settings, it has been integrated into reading strategies designed to improve comprehension and retention. The act of rereading is now frequently endorsed by educators and reading specialists as an essential tool for deepening literacy skills.
