Prediction or Overcoming Activation Difficulties
I get an excellent article, wrote by AlexK and also mentioned in KWLees last article (bibliography). TY, AlexK. Well done.
For me it is a thing, i waited for. Very useful is that 7-steps-strategy for using / building prediction.
I think, the earlier you get a feet in the book, the earlier it gels.
And Step 4 of the strategy “Activate first the glossary” shows for me this ideal entrance to a book. Much more better, than the table of contents.
I would heartfully recommend this article to all photoreaders with activation difficulties.
Prediction of content and structure seems to me as the key to activation. It seems, as it starts the "self-explanation-engine"
And .... Guessing is a tool, what proficient readers like Alex seems to do naturally.
DO YOU GUESS TOO?
See you later, Photorater.
