Here are the nonfiction prereading strategies from your list:
-
Establishing purpose: Determining what you want to achieve by reading the text can help focus attention and enhance understanding.
-
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.
-
Scanning the text: This involves looking quickly through the text to get an overview, noting headings, subheadings, and keywords.
-
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
