Good Reader Thinkmarks: Previewing Yr 3-6

About this teaching resource

Our Previewing Thinkmark takes readers into the secret world of what good readers think about when they first delve into a book.

Activate your students' thinking by demonstrating all the different ways good readers get their minds ready to read. 

The Thinkmark will anchor the good thinking that you have demonstrated, and prompt students to practise previewing strategies.

The Good Reader Thinkmark series prompts readers to discover what thinking they can be practising to deepen their engagement with, and comprehension of books.
