What are some effective pre-reading strategies?
The primary reading strategies that are pre reading are the technique of previewing the text through skimming headings, subheadings and visuals; activating the prior knowledge by the discussion of the related topics; and setting a reading purpose, which is basically asking specific questions about what the reader wants to learn. To illustrate, in the pre-reading section where ecological systems are featured, students can discuss plant and animal species whereby they announce the information they already possess, which is like an introduction to deeper knowledge.
How do pre-reading strategies enhance comprehension?
Pre-reading strategies are a great way to boost the reading comprehension because they stimulate the students to link new information with their prior knowledge, which is the main pathway to the learning of things better and to remembering them longer. For instance, if students find the dominant themes of a story before the actual reading, it becomes that much easier for them to see the similarities between their own thoughts and those of the characters, and consequently, to understand the plot better that way to the complexity of ideas in reading.
Can you provide an example of a pre-reading activity?
A very good pre-reading activity is 'Anticipation Guide' where students first read some statements which are related to the text they are going to read and then are asked to agree or disagree. Thus, it also helps in the discussion of the activated knowledge and makes students more engaged in reading the material. For instance, at the beginning of a historical document reading, students could form their opinions on statements regarding eminent people or occasions to boost their interest.
How can teachers assess the effectiveness of pre-reading strategies?
The employment of several techniques to have a direct insight into the students' interest in reading and how they measure their comprehension through group work or individual quizzes is one of the ways teachers can gauge the impact of pre-reading activities on their students. A case in point is the situation whereby the students who took part in pre-reading discussions show a higher level of comprehension in the tests when compared to the students who did not take part; this serves as evidence to the fact that this specific strategy was instrumental in increasing their understanding.
