    Predicting is an important reading strategy that allows students to anticipate what will happen in a text based on clues from titles, headings, pictures and the author's language. Making and reviewing predictions helps readers interact with and understand a text by connecting their prior knowledge to the new information. There are different types of predictions a reader can make, including about the overall topic, events, purpose, or what would happen if the story continued. Predicting requires using clues from the text and the reader's own background knowledge.

    the main purpose


    of a text
    What is predicting?
    Predicting is an important reading strategy.
    It allows students to use information from
    the text, such as titles, headings, pictures
    and diagrams to anticipate what will
    happen in the story. When making
    predictions, students envision what will
    come next in the text, based on their prior
    knowledge.
    How does predicting help?

    • Predicting helps you set a purpose for reading and


    anticipate what you will read.
    • Making and reviewing predictions helps you
    interact with the text.
    •Predictions help connect your prior knowledge
    with the information being learned.
    How to Make Predictions?

    The best way to encourage readers to make


    logical predictions is by prompting them to
    look at what has already happened in the
    text. This will help them to extract what the
    characters may have hinted is coming up or
    what may have been implied by the
    author's use of language.
    Before Reading
    Look at the title and the pictures to help

    When can I
    you make predictions.

    make a During Reading

    prediction? Stop every few pages to make a prediction


    about what will happen next.

    After Reading

    Think: Did I make accurate predictions? What clues


    helped me predict what would happen next?
    There are several different kinds of predictions
    that a reader can make with a text. Readers can:

    • predict what the book •predict why an author


    will be about included a specific text feature

    •predict what they will learn


    •predict the author’s from the text or section
    purpose within a text

    •predict future events in •predict what would happen


    next at the end of the book if
    the book
    it were to continue
    WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE TEACHING THE
    PREDICTING READING STRATEGY:

    Predicting requires the reader to do two things:

    1) use clues the author provides in the text


    2) use what he/she knows from personal
    experience or knowledge (schema).

    When readers combine these two things, they


    can make relevant, logical predictions.
    Why is Predicting important?
    Making predictions activates students' prior knowledge about the text and
    helps them make connections between new information and what they already
    know.
    By making predictions about the text before, during, and after reading, students
    use what they already know-as well as what they suppose might happen-to
    make connections to the text.
    For doing so, researchers have found that teaching reading should include
    explicit instruction on strategies used to comprehend text. These strategies
    include summarizing the main idea, predicting events or information to which
    the text is leading, drawing inferences, and monitoring for misunderstandings.
