Previewing Texts

Get Ready to Read

Previewing a text means looking at the title, pictures, and headings before you start reading. This gives you clues about what the text will be about and helps your brain get ready to learn.

  • Look at illustrations or photos
  • Read the headings and bold words
  • Think about what you already know about the topic

Previewing helps you understand new texts more easily and makes reading more fun!

Examples

  • Looking at the cover and pictures before starting a new book.

  • Reading the headings in a science article before reading the text.
