I am Learning to Predict and Re Predict as I Read.

I am in Pascal group for Reading, we are working at Turquoise. We have been learning to predict what will happen in a story and then re predict as we read. It is important to remember that it is okay for a prediction to be wrong!

I need to:

- Use picture information to make a guess as to what the story is about

- look for clues in the text that tell you what might happen next

- use clues from the text to make changes to my predictions

We read the story: The Hailstorm

Prediction 1:

By looking at the front cover, I think that the characters are going to be playing at school and it will start to rain. Then they will put the ball away.

Prediction 2:

After reading to page 8, I have found out that my prediction was right! I have made a new prediction about what will happen next. I think that the characters will stay in the shed until it stops raining, then they can get out to go to the classroom.

What really happened:

After reading the whole book, I have found out that my predictions were kind of the same as what happened in the story, but something else happened. There was hail everywhere!

My Reflection
I am proud of how I looked for clues in the story to help me think about what might happen next.
Making predictions can be hard sometimes, but it doesn't matter if they are wrong as long as you tried.
