Survey Strategy and GuideThe Survey Strategy is a way to study the selected text before reading and pick out key pieces that will be critical to comprehending the meaning. Young students often show this strategy as a "picture walk" whereas older students take a closer look at bigger sections of reading. This strategy "becomes more specific and deliberate, involving reviewing such features as the text type, main idea, headings, and subheadings, key vocabulary, significant diagrams, pictures, and maps of the section" (Miller & Veatch, 2011, p. 60). Using the Survey Strategy builds a sense of familiarity and anticipation about what happens next within the text. Students will now know where they are headed and what to expect in the reading (Miller & Veatch, 2011).
