read through
Examine the whole
To read through something is to read it from beginning to end, often for review or familiarization: I need to read through the contract before signing.
The phrase emphasizes completeness—not skimming, but working through the entire text.
A read-through (noun) is a complete reading, especially of a script or document: The cast did a read-through of the first act.
