1. Warming Up Before Reading

   Before reading a new text, good readers do not jump straight into difficult words. Instead, they pause and think about what they already know. This is called activating pre-existing knowledge.

   When you see a text about people, ask yourself:

   • What words do I know about physical appearance (e.g., tall, curly hair, blue eyes)?
   • What words describe character and personality (e.g., generous, honest, shy, outgoing)?
   • What clothes and accessories do people wear for different activities (e.g., hoodie, uniform, sneakers)?

   Thinking about these familiar words prepares your brain to understand the new topic much faster and more easily.

   Look Around the Text First

   You can discover a lot of clues about a text before reading a single sentence. Audio-visual elements, headings, and layouts guide your understanding.

   Follow these quick steps before reading:

   1. Read the title: Does the title mention a person, an activity, or a feeling? (For example: "Our New Teammate: Friendly and Fast!")
   2. Examine the pictures: Look closely at the people in the illustrations or photos. Notice their expressions, their clothes, and what they are doing.
   3. Notice highlighted words: Subtitles and bold labels highlight key themes such as body features, sports kits, or daily habits.

   Tip: Never worry about new or unknown words at this early stage. Focus entirely on the clues you can already see and understand!

   Connecting Clues to Form Meaning

   A prediction is an educated guess based on real clues. When you connect your own life experiences with the clues around a text, you can predict what the text is about.

   Look at this example:

   • Visual Clue: A boy wearing glasses, a lab coat, and a smiling, confident face.
   • Title: "Meet Eren: A Curious Mind at School"
   • Your Knowledge: You know that a lab coat connects to science, and curious describes a personality trait of someone who loves learning.
   • Prediction: The text will introduce Eren's appearance, his scientific interests, and his helpful, enthusiastic personality at school.

   By making predictions, you become an active reader ready to explore the story with clear expectations and curiosity.
