1.2 Pre-Reading Tips

Look at Pictures

Our brains are attracted to images - so go ahead and look at them first!

• Look at the cover of the book.
• Flip through to see if there are other images.
• What do the pictures let you know about the story or text?
• What ideas are being presented?
• What do the pictures make you think of?
• Remember to read the captions below the images if there are any.
