1.1 Pre-reading and post-reading strategies are important steps that help shape how a
reader engages with a text in a critical manner. Pre-reading involves preparing the reader
to interact with the text by predicting what it may be about, activating background
knowledge, or researching the context and the author’s intentions. This helps readers
begin the reading process with a purpose and a mental framework for interpreting the
material. According to TUT501 (2020:11), when a reader considers the setting or social
issues surrounding a text before reading, they are more likely to understand its meaning
beyond surface level. On the other hand, post-reading strategies like reflecting on the
themes, discussing the text, and making personal connections help the reader
consolidate meaning and develop deeper insight. Post-reading activities allow for critical
questioning and evaluation of the author’s message. These strategies together build
comprehension, encourage critical thinking, and promote meaningful engagement with
texts (Leland et al., 2018:25).
1.2 Pre-reading strategies are used before the actual reading takes place. They help the
reader prepare for the text by predicting what it might be about, activating prior
knowledge, and looking at titles or images. This gives the reader a mental map of what
to expect. Post-reading strategies come after the reading. These include summarising,
analysing, or discussing the text. Post-reading helps readers reflect on what they’ve read
and connect it to their own lives or real-world issues (TUT501, 2020:12).
