When students preview text, they tap into what they already know to help them understand the text they are about to read. This provides a framework for any new information they read.

Identifying the Main Idea and Summarization

Identifying the main idea and summarizing requires that students determine what is essential and put it in their own words. Implicit in this process is trying to understand the author’s purpose in writing the text.

Making Inferences

To make inferences about something not explicitly stated in the text, students must learn to draw on prior knowledge and recognize clues in the text itself.

Visualizing

Studies have shown that students who visualize while reading have better recall than those who do not (Pressley, 1977). Readers can take advantage of illustrations embedded in the text or create their mental images or drawings when reading the text without illustrations.
