Previewing the Text

Look Before You Read

Previewing means looking at the title, pictures, and headings before you start reading. This helps you get an idea of what the story or passage is about.

How to Preview

  • Read the title and look at the cover
  • Check out any pictures or diagrams
  • Think about what you already know about the topic

Previewing gets your brain ready to understand the story!

Examples

  • Looking at the cover and guessing what a book is about.

  • Reading headings before starting a new chapter.
