Make and Refine Predictions Making
predictions means to describe what you think will be revealed in
the text based on clues from the title, illustrations, and
details. Readers make predictions by previewing
a text and asking questions. They use details as clues to make
predictions as they read. They confirm or adjust
predictions during and after reading.
Verifying and refining predictions means to check for the validity of your thinking based on information collected from a text. Prediction questions are directed toward material not yet read. As students read, they look for clues that help them decide what might come next in the text. Predictions help students set expectations for reading, use text to aid comprehension, and to compare their thinking with what the author has written. Guiding Questions:
