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 great ways to start a prediction statement...




We used different animal pictures to help us predict too!
We had to use the clues we saw to guess what the animal was.
Here are some of the picture cards we used to practice predicting.

It was a beaver! 

What is it?
We used our clues...

A cat!
