Wouldn't it be nice if we could predict what the future holds?
…especially as we head into 2021. Wow, that’s a loaded question! Maybe we would rather not know. (wink, wink)
Predicting in reading, however. Now THAT’S a necessity!
Proficient readers make predictions naturally, without even knowing it. They predict what a book will be about based on the title, they predict why characters act a certain way, and they guess what will happen next when they get to the end of a chapter.
It’s important that elementary teachers help teach young students to use this same reading comprehension strategy as well. Predicting helps keep the reader’s mind engaged and activated as he or she works through a text. When students actively predict while reading, they stay connected to the text and can reflect upon, refine, and revise their predictions.
This podcast episode will teach you how to introduce, model, practice, and assess your students on making predictions in reading. You won’t want to miss it.
