Reionization is a process whereby hydrogen (and helium) in the Universe is ionized by the radiation from first luminous sources. Theoretically, the importance of the reionization lies in its close coupling with the formation of first cosmic structures and hence there is considerable effort in modelling the process. We give a pedagogic overview of different analytical approaches used for modelling reionization. We also discuss different observations related to reionization and show how to use them for constraining the reionization history.
