Predicting
Predicting is a helpful reading strategy as it helps us think about what to expect when we read.
What we know already (our prior knowledge) helps us to predict.
When we predict we can use the
• Title
• Front and back covers
• Blurb
• Pictures, or diagrams
• Table of contents
We can think about the
• Topic
• Author
• Text form (for example narrative, newspaper report, recount)
Good readers keep making predictions and adjusting them all through their reading.
