Making Predictions
Definition
• By making thoughtful predictions about what
will happen in the text, readers establish a
purpose for reading (other than to answer
someone else’s questions). As they read, they
confirm and/or revise their initial predictions,
based on new information in the text.
Making Predictions
Key Features
• Why this strategy is important:
– Readers set a purpose for reading and become more engaged in the
reading experience.
– They read to find evidence to support their predictions.
• Ways to teach:
– Directed Reading Thinking Activities (DRTA)
• Tompkins, pages 263 (6e)
• Adaptations:
– What’s in the Bag? Hole in the Picture, Sentence Frames
CCSS-ELA
– RL.K.10b and RI.K.10b
• Use illustrations and context to make predictions about
text.
– RL.1.10b and RI.1.10b
• Confirm predictions about what will happen next in a
text.
Academic Language
• Forms:
– Prediction, evidence, support, revise
