Preparing students to read is similar to.....
-learning to swim, bike, etc.
-getting a new pet
-going on vacation
-being on a sports team
Similarities...
Example, getting a new pet.
You have to look into where the pet likes to live, what they eat, how much exercise they need, what special needs they have. If you just get a pet without knowing how to take care of it, well, you will probably fail as a pet parent.
This is the same as reading.
Students need to be prepared for reading to know what it will be about, how they can relate it to themselves, and what to expect to learn. If these are not done, students will most likely not get all the information needed out of the text and not completely comprehend the material, failing to accomplish the task.
