The book divides rāʾ into two starting cases: rāʾ with a vowel, and rāʾ with sukūn. The voweled rāʾ usually follows its own vowel; a sākin rāʾ needs examination of what precedes it and sometimes what follows it.
For each example ask: Is rāʾ voweled? Which vowel comes before it? Is there an istiʿlāʾ letter later in the same word? This order helps prevent random guessing.
