@ Scan for the low-hanging fruits.
 Introducing learners to a topic by asking them to
open to relevant chapter and scan the pages.

 Encourage them to look for pictures, headings,

bolded words and any charts/graphs.

After a minute or two, ask them to suggest what

they think the particular chapter addresses.

in the class
* Search for roadblocks :
 Many times, the content is packed with
a lots of subjects specific terms.

 The use of specialized language can

prevent learners from understanding and
finishing assigned readings.
