Anticipation Guides Improve Reading Comprehension

Beginning with anticipation guide strategies is a powerful method for improving reading comprehension. First, list initial ideas for a topic the class will be reading about. These ideas are formulated into statements, some of which are true, and others which are false. Readers must pay close attention to textual evidence to determine which of the statements are accurate and which are not. While this refers to a nonfiction text, the strategy would work equally well for literature.
