My family is a constant reminder that teaching is my profession and should not consume my whole life. There is importance in balance, and my family helps me find and keep that balance.

From Chapter 6: “Frontloading Meaning: Pre-Reading Strategies,” When Kids Can’t Read What Teachers Can Do, by Kyleen Beers (p. 73).
![Page 12: Pre-Reading Strategies focusing on Probable Passages based on the work of Kylene Beers](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816352550346895dd3f394/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pre-Reading Strategies most are familiar with:
•Anticipaton Guides•K-W-L
What Pre-Reading Strategies do and why we should use them:•“Frontload” meaning.•According to Beers, 68% of teachers surveyed begin a reading assignment simply by talking about the author’s background or telling students something about the text. Does not engage students to actively read.•Pre-reading strategies should engage students with the text, even before they read. This eliminates passive reading and helps students to:• Tap into and use prior knowledge• Engage with the text• Consider sequencing, cause and effect
relationships, make comparisons, inferences, and predictions.
• Identify vocabulary needs• Construct meaning, even before they
read.
