Read each paragraph.Then on the blank that follows write a word or phrase that sums up the topic. To increase comprehension in textbook reading, students should learn to preview the chapter before reading.The first step in previewing is to read the title, which, of course, is the topic of the chapter. You should ask yourself how this chapter fits in with the preceding one. You should also ask yourself what you already know about the topic of this chapter and what you want to find out about the topic. The next step in previewing is to read the section headings to discover the outline of the chapter. The third step in previewing is to note the graphic aids(graphs, pictures, tables)in the chapter. Then you should read the chapter summary if there is one. Finally you should read any questions that appear at the end of the chapter to see what points the author thinks are important. If there are chapter objectives listed at the beginning of the chapter, you should also note these. Topic: __________________________________________________________________________
