Answer: A list of a few possibilities is given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Predicting - With the knowledge that you have about the book (from the blurb, cover, and what you have already heard about the topic/text), make some guesses of what might occur within the story. You can also glance briefly at the headers, titles, and table of contents (when applicable) to further fuel your predictions.
2) Questioning - Ask questions before, after, and as you read the book/text. Make questions surrounding the author's purpose, the book itself, and your understanding as a reader. (EX: What is the author trying to say here? What is the message that is trying to be conveyed in this passage? Do I know anything about the topics being discussed in this book?)
3) Purpose - Designate a clear purpose for your reading. Essentially, ask yourself what you want to learn by the end of the passage, and what you want to get after you have closed the book/finished the article (this will help guide you as you read).
4) Identify/Learn - Glance at the article/topic and identify keywords, phrases, and concepts that you do not understand. Take the time beforehand to do the necessary research and get a better understanding of these topics before you begin to read.

Note: if you have a list of possible answers that were given by your teacher, please link it somewhere in your question. I just listed a few things that I've been told throughout my years in Language Arts/English.
Hope this helps you out either way!
