An Introduction to Pre-reading

When reading some material, many readers would like to focus on the first line of it and read it through from begin-ning to end. This is not an efficient way of reading. Actually, experienced readers do pre-reading before reading it. Pre-reading is a technique that allows readers to become familiar with the material to be read before beginning to read it thoroughly. 1. It provides readers with a mental outline of the content of the material.

• What is the purpose of pre-reading?

Pre-reading involves getting a quick impression or overview of what you are going to read before beginning to read. It allows you to know about the basic content and organization of the material before you read it.2.

• Why is pre-reading effective?

First, pre-reading helps you to become concentrated on what you will read. Through pre-reading you become interested and involved in the material and get basic information about the content of the article. 3.

Second, pre-reading provides you with a mental outline of the material you are going to read. 4. With this outline already in mind, you are able to read the chapter more easily.

• 5.

You may use the technique of pre-reading before you read any materials, when you read just for an overview of a material, or when you select materials for a specific purpose (e. g. writing a paper, preparing a research report, etc.). Don’t think that pre-reading will waste your time. In fact, you just spend a few minutes on pre-reading, which will help you save a lot of time and make your actual reading fast and easy.

A. When do you apply pre-reading?

B. Does pre-reading waste our study time?

C. The technique involves checking specific parts of an article, a chapter or a book.

D. Thus, you will be able to read faster and follow the author’s thought more easily.

E. You begin to expect the outline of the material and see the relationships of topics.

F. In other words, pre-reading focuses your attention on the content of the reading material.

G. For example, while reading the headings of a chapter, you are forming a mental outline of the chapter.
