Anticipatory+Guide

= Anticipatory Guides for Reading Instruction  =



= = = Anticipatory Guides are a great way to get students thinking about the issues and ideas they will encounter in the selection they are about to read. By answering a few pointed questions, students get to “warm up their brains” for reading. Using anticipatory guides not only helps them get ready to read, but helps students comprehend what they are reading. Anticipatory Guides also help guide students from just “reading for fun” to “reading with a purpose". =
