How does this traditional reading tool help develop
strong readers?
An anticipation guide is a series of statements, usually between five and ten, to which students must respond individually before reading a certain text. The statements are designed in such a way as to activate thought about particular events, ideas, plots or issues that will be introduced in the text about to be read. Having students engage in these thoughts before reading prepares them to read as more active participants. They get a sense of the major ideas they will encounter in the text, and they have an opportunity to reflect and respond to these ideas individually before being influenced by the group.
