Question

Prereading is a strategy which prepares the learner for reading.

True/False

Answer 1

True

Sometimes when reading a passage, one can become hindered in progress by difficult terms or difficult ideas. When one prereads, one will look over the passage for bolded terms, headings, and maybe even the summaries at the end of the passage in order to gain a preliminary understanding of the content. With this basic understanding of passage content, one will gain a bit of familiarity with content to where it will not be as difficult/challenging when reading the passage the entire way through.

Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Prereading is a strategy that uses the method of skimming to focus and discover the main ideas or elements of a text and skip those details that are not as important or specific. This technique allows the reader prior understanding, familiarity and it develops their cognitive skills.

This method also increases a person's efficiency and speed, which are a key part of reading skills.
