1. STUDENT AND WORD CLEARER SIT ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER.
The student and the Word Clearer sit across from each other at a table or desk. Each person has his own copy of the text to be word cleared. The Word Clearer must be able to see the student and the page in front of him at the same time.

2. DICTIONARIES ARE AVAILABLE.
A good, simple English-language dictionary and any other dictionaries the student may need are available. (Above all things, do not use what is called a “dinky dictionary.” This is different than a simple, well-expressed dictionary. A dinky dictionary is what you commonly get off the paperback racks in drugstores. It quite often defines word A as word B and then defines word B as word A. It also omits all the alternative definitions and all the technical definitions. Always have to hand, at least in the classroom, the most extensive and voluminous set of dictionaries anybody ever heard of on all the subjects known under the sun, plus any encyclopedias that you can round up.)

3. STUDENT RECOGNITION OF MISUNDERSTOODS.
Before the student starts reading, he should be told that if he reads anything he doesn’t fully understand he should tell the Word Clearer, or if he sees a word he doesn’t know the meaning of, he should stop and look the word up and clear it instead of going on past it. And the student should be encouraged to find and clear misunderstood words himself. Reading Aloud Word Clearing brings about the ability to do this, so that the student will find and clear his own misunderstoods in future. The Word Clearer on Reading Aloud would never prevent the student from clearing a word that the student recognizes as misunderstood. Correctly done Reading Aloud Word Clearing will bring about the ability of the student to find and clear his own misunderstoods.
