Making Predictions

Hmmm… What will happen next?


Thinking about what
might happen is called
making predictions.
predictions
When you make
predictions, you are like a
detective.
You use clues in the story
to help you predict.
Making Predictions
Use information from the story.

Use what you already


know.
Put the information together.
Ask yourself if your prediction
makes sense.
Let’s try it!
The weather forecast is for rain.

Which sentence best tells what would happen next?

Winston will take an umbrella to


school.
Winston will leave his umbrella at home.
Sometimes we might struggle
understanding because:
 We don’t predict what the selection might
be about.

 We don’t think about what we already


know about a topic.

 We don’t form images as we read.

We often just open a book, look at words, and


begin turning pages.
Kevin’s Book
Kevin read a book he liked a lot. He
was sorry when the story ended. He
thought the author had done a great
job. The next day Kevin took the
book back to the library.
What are the facts?
What did Kevin think about the book?
How did Kevin feel when he finished
the book?

What did Kevin think about the


author?

What author might Kevin look for


when he borrows another book?

Why do you think so?


Read and make your
prediction!

bump and fell off his bike. After he fell
he stood up and saw that he had
skinned his knee. When he got to
school his pants were ripped. What do
you think he will do?

Ryan would probably call home and ask


someone to bring him a different pair of
pants.

When Brandon and Deon were
camping they decided to go fishing.
While they were fishing they caught
twelve fish. When it was time to go
back to the camp site they put all the
fish in a bucket. What do you think
that they did with the fish? Why?
Possible Answer
I predict that Brandon and Deon will take
the fish out of the bucket when they get
back to the camp site and then they will
cook and eat the fish for dinner.
Read Carefully
