Prereading Plan (PReP)

This is a great strategy that improves learning for all students by increasing the understanding of the content they read. It activates and helps you to build additional knowledge before students read. PReP has simple steps to put into action and will engage all your students. It helps you to assess students’ prior knowledge that will inform you of the level of guidance they need from you. PReP is more effective when performed with children in grades 6 – 8 and it is implemented before they read informational books or chapters from textbooks.
