Checking your assumptions or predictions<\/h3>\n
\n\t

In their daily lives, human beings make assumptions or predictions. For example, you anticipate the emotions of the people you meet based on your observations; you anticipate the interest in reading a book based on its cover; the presence of valet parking in front of a restaurant leads you to conclude that the cost of eating in that restaurant is probably prohibitive, etc.<\/p>\n

When you make predictions or assumptions before you start reading, you are trying to guess what is coming up in your reading. If you are reading about the impact of climate change on human health, you are already thinking about some of the possible health problems caused by global warming. For example, airborne pollens, which affect air quality, cause allergic reactions in some people. So you should check the accuracy of your predictions later on while reading. When the prediction proves to be correct, it will allow you to learn something that will become more firmly anchored in your memory. When it is not, it still allows you to learn something, to anticipate differently when a similar situation arises with other texts.<\/p>\n

Evaluating predictions and generating new ones are necessary actions to construct meaning from what you read. Clues about the information in a text and your knowledge enable you to predict what will happen next. You continue reading to validate, reject, modify or even generate new hypotheses based on the new clues you encounter in the text you are reading. Hypotheses allow you, as a reader, to motivate yourself to continue reading and to help you understand what happens next.<\/p>\n

Bear in mind that it is important not only to look for information that confirms your assumption, but also to consider information that does not confirm it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

Advantages<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Checking your assumptions as you read allows you to either adjust your reading intention if you find information that doesn't match it, or simply switch to another text if it doesn't match what you are looking for. It helps you to keep your focus on the content of the text and to stay more active while you read.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
