Pre-reading

Reading is a meaning seeking process. Effective readers are active, not passive. They take some time before they begin to read a text to:

  • activate prior knowledge

  • preview the passage (vocabulary and structure of the text)

  • make predictions

  • establish a purpose

  • generate questions
