Below is the mnemonic we use for UNRAAVEL and what each letter means. The top one is for reading comprehension, and the bottom on is for math problem solving. Under each mnemonic, I will be adding some songs to remember the steps. Thanks to Larry Bell for creating and bringing us these wonderful strategies!
Reading UNRAAVEL
U - underline the title
N - Now, predict the passage
R - Run through and number the paragraphs
A - Are you reading the questions?
A - Are the important words circled?
(in the questions)
V- Venture through the passage
(read it marking the important words)
E - Eliminate wrong answers
(only in mulitple choice)
L - Let the questions be answered
(answer each question and put the paragraph number where the answer was found)
UNRAAVEL SONG
(to the tune of the Brady Bunch)
Draw as line, under the title
Take your best guess what it's all about
Put a number next to each paragraph
To help you find the answer
Take some time, and read the questions
Circle all, the very important words
Write down what each word means
And now its time to read
(Chorus)
UNRAAVEL -ing
UNRAAVEL - ing
This how we UNRAAVEL the CRCT!
Cross out all the wrong answers
Pick the best of all that remain
Paragraph numbers will prove you know the answers
Now double check your work
Chorus

(especially clue words)
A - Apply the step(s) you chose to solve the problem
V- Verify your answer
