When you sit down to read a sports story in the paper or an e-mail from afriend, you probably do not have to make much of an effort. You just read it andenjoy it. School reading is different. At school, you usually read to learn andremember information. This is when the reading process requires a little morework.
The Reading Process
Good reading involves three stages:
1. Prereading (before reading)2. Reading3. Postreading (after reading)
In the lessons that follow, we will take a closer look at each of these stagesand what they can mean to you. Let’s start with prereading.
Prereading Steps
Prereading (as the pre- prefix implies) is what you do before you read.Prereading involves four steps; they are sometimes called the “4 Ps.”
Prereading
1. Preview2. Predict3. Prior knowledge4. Purpose
You can organize these steps in a 4-P chart like the one below. Over time, youwill find that you don’t need to use a chart. For now, though, you can use the 4-P chart to remember and practice the prereading steps.

The Importance of Previewing
When you go to the movies, you probably see the previews of comingattractions. What are these previews for? They are designed to spark yourinterest in new movies. A preview tells you what an upcoming movie is about—the main characters, key events in the plot, and perhaps a problem that needssolving.
In the same way, a first look or preview of something you are about to readcan give you important clues about what the reading contains. Previewing helpsyou get the most important information from your reading. It also helps youremember that information longer.
To preview a new chapter in your history book or a long article in a newsmagazine, what do you do first?
1. Start with the title. The title usually tells you the main idea of the entirechapter or article.
2. Scan the chapter or article. Look for highlighted text that is meant to standout. Watch for headings and subheadings. Be alert for words in the textthat are in boldface or italics. Pay attention to bulleted or numbered listsand what they seem to be about.
3. Look at the graphics in your reading selection. Graphics are photos,drawings, maps, charts, graphs, time lines—any text elements that are notjust words.
4. Skim the chapter or article. When you skim, you do not read word forword. You should read the first and last paragraphs in each major sectionof the text. With a shorter passage, also read the first and last lines in eachparagraph.
Application
Use your prereading skills to preview the following selection from a worldhistory text. Do not read the whole article—just preview it! Fill in the Previewcolumn of the 4-P chart that follows the article.

The People of Sumer
Nearly 7,000 years ago, thepeople of Sumer lived where thecountry of Iraq is today. These
people are called Sumerians. Theybuilt their cities in the valleysalong the Tigris and Euphratesrivers. They settled there because

of the rich soil and the steadywater supply. The area betweenthese two rivers has been calledthe Fertile Crescent. Most peoplein ancient Sumer farmed. Theothers were businesspeople,priests, or rulers. Slaves were usedby farmers and merchants.
A New Farming Method
The Sumerians were the firstpeople known to use irrigation.Irrigation is a way to bring waterto fields. The Sumerians dugditches and ponds. When therivers flooded, the ponds filled.When dry weather came, ditchescarried water from the ponds tothe fields. Without irrigation, thepeople of Sumer could not haveraised enough crops to live.
Sumerian Culture
The earliest surviving examplesof writing are Sumerian. At first,the Sumerians used picturewriting, but it was too slow andhard to use. They invented a kindof writing called cuneiform. Awedge-shaped stick was used tomake marks in wet clay tablets.The clay was then hardened bybaking. Writing made recordkeeping possible. It also enabledone city to send messages toanother.
Religion was important to theSumerians. They believed that thegods had created human beings.
Their religion had a story abouthow the gods decided to destroythe people through a great flood.The king of one city was warnedby friendly gods. He built a hugeboat. He took all the animals of thefield and forest in the boat. Theymanaged to survive the flood.
Sumerian Government
At first, each Sumerian city wasa city-state. It had its ownindependent government. Thenthe city-states began to cooperate.They formed one nation, ruled bya king. This stronger nation couldbetter protect itself during warand could solve problems moreeasily.
The Sumerians created a strictsystem of laws. Anyone whoaccused someone else of a crimehad to prove it. If not, the accusercould be put to death. The lawalso said that if your eye was hurtin a fight, you had the right tohurt your enemy’s eye. This isknown as the “eye for an eye”principle. Laws divided theSumerians into three classes:aristocrats, commoners, andslaves. Slaves had some rights.They could own land and couldsometimes buy their freedom. Forsome crimes, a free person couldbe made a slave.(Adapted from Short Lessons in World Historyby E. Richard and Linda R. Churchill. © 1999,J. Weston Walch, Publisher)

part 3 • the growth and spread of world religions
Buddhism was founded by an Indian prince, Siddhartha Gautama, who was born in 563 b.c.e. He became known as the Buddha, the “Enlightened One.” The Buddha tought that the cause of human suffering is desire for worldly things and pleasures. A person should live a moral life and meditate often, striving to achieve nirvana. In this state, a person is free from all desire and becomes one with the universe, ending the cycle of rebirth.
