Reading Skill: Previewing
Previewing a reading passage is a reading strategy that involves taking a few minutes to scan the title, headings, subheadings, and first and last paragraphs of a passage. This helps to get a general sense of the topic, the author’s purpose, and the organization of the passage before reading it in detail. Previewing can help readers focus their attention, identify main ideas and supporting details, and better understand and remember what they read.
