Under Comprehension on the CAFÉ menu, I teach predict what will happen; use text to confirm early in the year. Teaching students to predict is something that students catch on to very fast. I find that they sometimes begin to use the strategy too much... every time I read a page of a story someone raises their hand to share their prediction. Although making predictions may be easy, teaching primary students to confirm predictions based on the text becomes a little trickier. We must teach students to look back to see if the prediction was true, partially true, or way off.

"Based on what you have read, what do you think will happen next?"

"What from the story helped you make that prediction?"

"What from the story tells you your prediction is true/partially true/way off?"

Model this strategy during your interactive read-aloud. Tell students your predictions and what from the text helped you make that prediction. After reading a little more, return to your prediction to decide if your prediction was true, partially true, or way off.

After modeling how to predict, have students work in pairs. Ask one partner to look at the text and predict what will happen. The partners then read the text together. The second partner finds places in the selection that can prove whether the prediction was true, partially true, or way off.

Here is a lesson where the students make predictions through their illustrations.

This is examples on how to teach predictions from the book, Reading With Meaning.

This website teaches students to use predictions as a pre-reading strategy.

I love this site! The fact that the levels of books available are so far-reaching makes this a wonderful site for classrooms---virtually any child can utilize the features on this site. The book report feature is great as well--right along with many of the standards we are teaching in our classrooms, and a great tool for guiding students. The quizzes offer students feedback, and also encouragement as they continue to read. This promotes a feeling of success among students, and furthers their love for literature and reading.

This is the best interactive read aloud website I have found. My students and I love it. We can always locate a book easy that connects to what we have been studying. The students love to watch the pictures, and as they progress with their decoding skills they pick out words that they know. When we watch one of these books, I have to pause it after every page so they can find all their sight words that are on the page. The website makes it like have a celebrity reader in our room daily. Thank you so much for your wonderful reading website.
