The third step in SURVEY strategy is to look at the questions and answer choices that may be attached to the article/story. Why do we do this?

• The questions and answers can provide clues about what we are reading

• Doing this gives us a purpose for reading and helps us know what might be important

• We may be able to answer some of the questions before we even read the text and then know where to focus our energy

• All of the above

Why do we use SURVEY strategy?
