Why Use It<\/span><\/h3>\nAccording to research, previewing a text can improve comprehension (Graves, Cooke, & LaBerge, 1983, cited in Paris et al., 1991). <\/span><\/p>\nPreviewing a text helps readers prepare for what they are about to read and set a purpose for reading. <\/span><\/p>\nThe genre<\/strong> determines the reader\u2019s methods for previewing: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n \t- Readers preview nonfiction to find out what they know about the subject and what they want to find out.

- Readers preview fiction to determine characters, setting, and plot. They also preview to make predictions about story\u2019s problems and solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
When To Use It<\/span><\/h3>\nPreviewing is a strategy readers use before and during reading. <\/span><\/p>\n\nHow To Use It<\/span><\/h3>\nWhen readers preview a text before they read, they first ask themselves whether the text is fiction or nonfiction.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n \t- If the text is fiction or biography, readers look at the title, chapter headings, introductory notes, and illustrations for a better understanding of the content and possible settings or events.<\/span><\/li>\n \t
- If the text is nonfiction, readers look at text features and illustrations (and their captions) to determine subject matter and to recall prior knowledge, to decide what they know about the subject.
