I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pick emma up again?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'run before notice' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'before' becomes 'ere' (usually literary).
'notice' becomes 'ad'.
'r'+'ere'+'ad'='REREAD'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reread that I've seen before include "look again at manifesto?" , "Perused again" , "Study text again" , "Give script second seeing to" , "Peruse or scan again; it's dearer" .)
