Author: Martin Huntley Title: Director of Technology Role: Research/tech assistance org Location: Providence, RI Date: 01-17-02 I have students preview a story before reading it: They actually read the title of the story, skim the pages for pictures, read the captions, go to the end of the story and read questions about the story (if there are questions), read a summary (if there is one), they along this path, I constantly am asking them questions about what they are seeing and reading, posing such questions as, "I wonder why the main character said that, or I wonder where he's going.... " Then we read.. because students automatically want to know the answers to the questions posed.
