FAQ
How does predicting in a compare-and-contrast text differ from predicting in a narrative?⌄
Rather than predicting what will happen next in a story, students predict how two subjects will compare — anticipating similarities and differences based on clues in titles, headings, and opening sentences.
What text features help students make predictions before reading a comparison passage?⌄
Titles, subheadings, bold vocabulary terms, introductory sentences, and any visual organizers in the text all provide information students can use to predict the comparison's direction and key points before reading in depth.
How should students revise their predictions during reading of a comparison text?⌄
When a new comparison point confirms or contradicts their expectation, students should note the specific sentence that changed their thinking — building the metacognitive habit of monitoring comprehension as new evidence accumulates.
