Pre-reading
1. Three elements which are examined while pre-reading a text
Titles, pictures, and vocabularies
2. What to do with the information collected while pre-reading
The information collected while pre-reading is normally used in analyzing the features
given in the work and this helps the readers to have good knowledge about the given topic. With
this knowledge, they can understand and predict more about the topic covered in the work
3. How it’s helpful to generate predictions about the topic of the text
Prediction about the topic of the text is very helpful as it gives the readers the urge and
the morale to learn more to know whether what they predicted is what is actually covered in the
text or book.
4. How to activate prior knowledge and why it’s important for the understanding of
the text
The techniques of activating prior knowledge are brainstorming, group discussions, and
concept or mind mapping. Activating prior knowledge helps to improve the level of
understanding of the readers as they get to relate what they already know and what they read
