3.2 Zoom In

Zoom In

What do you think zoom in means?

Just as a camera has the ability to zoom in or highlight a portion of an image, readers can learn to zoom in on the features of text to highlight what is important. 

You are going to learn to zoom in on the pages of nonfiction texts. They often have a lot going on on each page. Good readers can zoom in on certain places to find the needed information. When you zoom in, it means you take a closer look at certain parts of the page instead of skipping over them.

Zooming in helps you to focus on information you are trying to find or that is important.
