specific information quickly.
• In scanning you have a question in your mind and you read a
passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.
• Previewing is when you gather information about a book by
examining its over.
• The aim of previewing is to help you predict or make some
“educated guesses” about what is in the book.
• When you preview, you look for information. Then you can make
guesses about what is in the letter. When you make guesses like
this, you are predicting.
• Previewing and predicting help you read and understand better. This
is because you are already thinking about what you will read.
