Making Predictions

MAKING PREDICTIONS

In Reader's Workshop, we made predictions!
We learned...
Good readers use clues in a story to make predictions.
A prediction is a guess.
When a reader makes predictions, it helps them to 
understand what is happening in the story.



To help us understand what it means to make a prediction,
we guessed what could be in our mystery bucket.
We used our 5 senses and schema to help us predict.



Here are some of our predictions...pretty good! 
It was a jingle bell!




How does this relate to reading???

Next, we read There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves!
We predicted what would happen after the old lady sneezed.
ACHOO!

Maybe she will sneeze out a scarecrow...


OR pumpkins...




We shared our predictions with our share buddies.
My readers came up with some good ideas!!!
