An anticipation guide (Rozelle and Scearce 2009) can be introduced as a pre-reading activity that requires students to draw upon their prior knowledge to make connections to the text to be read.  The guide can further engage the interest of the potential reader in the topic of the text to be read.  Questions and statements will be provided that require the reading to agree or disagree, and with variations of the guide, the reader might be asked to explain why he/she agrees or disagarees with the statement.  Once the tasks on the guide have been completed, the reader will have a morsel of knowledge regarding the passage topic to wet the reader's appetite which will aid in comprehension.

Anticipation Guides are also presented within the work of other experts in the field:  Cris Tovani's I Read It But I Don't Get It (2001) and Do I Really Have to Teach Reading? (2004), Kylene Beers' When Kids Can't Read What Teachers Can Do (2003), Harvey and Goudvis' Strategies That Work:  Teaching Comprehension for Understanding and Engagement (2007), and Kelly Gallagher's Deeper Reading (2004).
