My predictions on what I thought the book was going to be about was correct. I was able to figure out what the book was about by looking at the name of the pdf, the title of the book, the heading on the first page, the photos in the book, and the first sentence. I thought the book was about Frog scientists talking about all the different types of frogs. Seeing the first sentence and the title of the book was my big tell tell sign. As I looked more into the book I realized that it showed information about frogs all over the world and what was happening to them.

I think "Fragile Frogs" will be about how weak frogs. The title, the pictures, captions, tell us about different frogs and some even show frogs with extra legs with a caption explaining there was more frogs with deformities. So, I think it might be about how the environment impacts frogs.

When I previewed The Frog Scientist, a few things stood out right away. The title and cover made me think it would be about someone who studies frogs, maybe a scientist who’s trying to learn more about their environment or how they survive. The photos, bold words, and captions gave me clues that the book would mix real science facts with a true story about a person’s work. I also noticed diagrams and sidebars that looked like they would explain frog habitats, life cycles, and maybe some problems frogs face in nature. From those features, I predicted that the book would focus on a scientist researching frogs to understand what’s happening to them in the wild.

After reading the text, my predictions were pretty accurate. The book followed a real scientist who studies frogs to see how pollution and changes in the environment are affecting them. Previewing the text features really helped me because it gave me a clear idea of what to expect before I started reading. I was able to connect the pictures, headings, and bold words to the main ideas as I read, which made it easier to understand and remember the information.

Before reading the article, I predicted that it would be about frogs and how they are possibly endangered or in need of help. After reading, I can say that my prediction was correct. It mentioned how frogs are going extinct due to issues, like habitat loss. A lot of times, that is due to humans expanding and using their habitat area to build.

Previewing the text allowed me to identify pictures and make assumptions based on the features provided. It was evident that it would be about frogs based on the images, along with the title.
