Making Predictions

This task for reading was about making prediction. Predictions are educated guesses. The education comes from our prior knowledge and the clues from the books.

To make our first predictions we only looked at the title and pictures on the front page. We predicted what text type the story was, what the story was about and sentences we think might be in the book.

After that we read 2-3 paragraphs and made more predictions about other things. We made 3-6 other predictions.

After getting our predictions checked, we wrote on the next column whether we were correct or incorrect. If we were incorrect we wrote what really happened.

Making predictions can help with understanding a text.
