Use this strategy as a graphic organizer to brainstorm before reading. This will help you visualize what you know about the topic of the reading text before you read it. For any topic of a text, draw whatever you imagine about it. You can also find pictures online or in magazines, if you prefer not to draw, in order to visualize the topic.

Use an anticipation guide to begin thinking about what you know (or what you think you know) about a reading text topic. I'll provide you with a prepared Anticipation Guide for a particular reading text with 5-10 statements about the reading. Make a prediction about the text by agreeing or disagreeing with each statement. You won't have to share your answers, but make sure to answer each statement. Afterward, you'll read, and later you can change or revise your answers in the Anticipation Guide if your prediction turns out to be different from what you read.

Before Reading Strategies
Use brainstorming webs to organize your thoughts and make connections about a text, its topic, and potential details based on what you know about that text or topic and your knowledge of language before reading a text. Making predictions and preliminary connections can help you understand the reading text better.
