Question 1 • GA-Literature and Composition III

Which reading strategy can be used to make predictions about a text?

Answer
A
rereading
B
freewriting
C
using outside sources
D
activating background knowledge

Explanation

Activating background knowledge means thinking about what you already know about a topic before or while reading. You can use that knowledge, along with clues in the text, to predict what the text may discuss or what might happen. Rereading can help with understanding, but it is not the strategy most directly used to make predictions.
