Previewing Texts

Getting Ready to Read

Previewing means looking at a book or story before you start reading. You can look at the cover, pictures, and headings to guess what it might be about. This helps your brain get ready and makes reading easier and more fun!

  • Check out the title and cover picture
  • Flip through and look at pictures
  • Read headings or bold words

Previewing helps you make predictions and gets you excited about what you’ll learn.

Examples

  • Looking at the pictures in a book before you start reading.

  • Reading the chapter titles to guess what the story is about.
