    Effective Reading Strategies

    Unit 5.2
    Previewing
    Previewing a text means to get the general idea of a particular text, before
    reading it. Previewing can also be referred as a skill of learning about a
    text,without actually going through the main body of the text.
    How to Preview
    To preview, start by reading:

    ● the title and author details


    ● the abstract (if there is one)
    ● then read only the parts that ‘jump out’; that is: main headings and
    subheadings, chapter summaries, any highlighted text etc.
    ● examine any illustrations, graphs, tables or diagrams and their captions, as
    these usually summarize the content of large chunks of text
    ● the first sentence in each paragraph
    ● read the comprehension questions at the end of the chapter to find out
    what the authors consider most important in the chapter.
