PREVIEWING AND PREDICTING



A. Definition of Previewing Previewing is a speed reading activity. This activity allows the reader to put the text in context. This activity also helps to assess the level of difficulty of a reading text, and how deep the background knowledge is on the topic being discussed. So, this is the analogy. If you are about to start a journey, and you already have a map then you can plan your trip. You will also have an idea of what you will encounter during the trip. Such is the benefit of previewing. Because you skim first, it will make it easier for you when doing reading activities. Previewing also gives you the experience that you can extract the essence of information from a reading text without having to read it word for word. This previewing activity also provides the ability to become one of the basic capitals to increase the level of reading speed and also to be further used in skimming. When



you gather information about a book by examining it's



cover, you are previewing. The aim of previewing is to help you to predict or make some "educated guesess" about what's in the books. That is what you do when you preview. Now, let's try to do previewing with read the following passage. Example 1: “The first time you try it, ask someone to help you. You may fall if no one holds you up. It is a good idea to start on the sidewalk. The street may be dangerous. After you start, do not stop. Try to go faster. That will help you to stay up. Remember, even little children can do this. And once you learn how, you will never forget.” What is the passage about? Can you answer?



If not, let’s take a look at the following this picture.



Can you guess? If you answer is learning to ride a bicycle, then you are right. Picture help you understand. Before you read, always look at the pictures (if there are any). You can learn a lot about a passage if you head just a few imfortant sentences. This is the reason for previewing. Steps to consider when previewing: 1. Read the title, 2. See pictures if any, 3. Read a few sentences in the first paragraph, 4. Read the first sentence of another sentence, 5. Read the last sentence of the last paragraph, 6. Pay attention to the names, dates and numbers.

B. Definition of Predicting Predicting is a reading skill in which the reader has awareness and vigilance of the thought process that occurs when we draw an "inference". Some of the learning activities here will show how to find indications of evidence for the inferences made. When you make a prediction, you are predicting what will occur.
