Previewing the Passage

Getting Ready to Read

Before you start reading, take a quick look at the title, pictures, and headings. This gives you clues about what the passage will be about. You can also skim the first and last sentences to get an idea of the main theme. Previewing helps you set a purpose for reading and makes it easier to understand and remember the story.

Examples

  • Looking at the title and a picture of a dog before reading a story about pets.

  • Skimming the headings in a passage about plants to guess what you will learn.
