Previewing Texts

Getting Ready to Read

Before you dive into a new book or story, it's helpful to preview the text. This means looking at the title, headings, pictures, and any bold words to guess what the story will be about.

How to Preview

  • Skim the pages for pictures or charts
  • Read the headings and bolded words
  • Predict what you think you will learn or read about

Previewing helps your brain get ready to understand and remember the story!

Examples

  • You look at the cover and pictures in a book before starting to read.

  • You read the chapter titles and headings to guess what the story will be about.
