Survey reading

Let’s look at the basics for learning how to comprehend when reading.

  1. Look at the front book cover. What information is the author/publisher giving you about the story? What does the title suggest? Why did she use this particular graphic on the cover?

  2. Read the Table of Contents. It’s an outline of the story.

  3. Read the Introduction or Preface. It gives you a good idea of where the author wants to take you.

  4. Can you make any predictions about the story with this information alone?

  5. Look at the back cover. What are the comments being made by critics who have read the book? What other clues can you pick up?

  6. Preview the book to make sure it’s what you are looking for. Skim the headings and subheadings.

  7. Remember that the first and last sentences of a paragraph give you the essence of that paragraph, especially when reading non-fiction.

  8. What do you know about the subject? Prior knowledge will help you to fill in information, to understand vocabulary words and concepts the author wants you to know.
