Step 1:

Preview: to look at or see beforehand.

Before reading, you can preview a text’s title, headers, and other visual elements and generate questions in order to identify what you would like to learn.

Step 2:​

Generating questions is the strategy of coming up with your own questions before, during, and after reading. This strategy can help you gain information and deepen your understanding.

Generate: To make, produce, or create.

​Step 3:
During reading, you’ll probably think about what you understand or don’t understand

• For example: Why is this character so angry about what’s happening?

  After reading, think about any questions you still have that remain unanswered. You may wish to reread parts of the text to help you find or infer the answers.

Use words like who, what, when, where, and why to generate questions about what you are reading.
