Here are the nonfiction prereading strategies from your list:

  1. Establishing purpose: Determining what you want to achieve by reading the text can help focus attention and enhance understanding.

  2. Summarizing the text: While summarizing is generally a post-reading strategy, anticipating the main ideas and potential summaries before reading can help readers engage with the material.

  3. Scanning the text: This involves looking quickly through the text to get an overview, noting headings, subheadings, and keywords.

  4. Skimming the text: This strategy involves reading quickly to get a general sense of the content, often focusing on introductions, conclusions, and highlighted sections.

The option "comprehending meaning" is typically a goal of reading rather than a prereading strategy.

So, the selected prereading strategies are:

  • Establishing purpose
  • Summarizing the text
  • Scanning the text
  • Skimming the text
