How can your students get meaning from nonfiction texts? This can be done by checking for THIEVES. THIEVES is an active prereading strategy that allows students to skim and scan then summarise the information from informational texts before they actually begin reading the text.

Your students can use this strategy to preview textbooks and other informational texts when they do not have an opportunity to read the entire selection. Although this is very useful remind your students that making time for the full reading of a text is the better way to go!
