FAQ

What makes a good prediction different from a guess in 5th-grade reading?

A good prediction is grounded in specific text evidence — details from the title, illustrations, genre conventions, or text clues — rather than random speculation, making prediction an active comprehension skill rather than a guessing game.

How does making predictions before reading improve reading comprehension?

Pre-reading predictions activate prior knowledge, set a purpose for reading, and prime students to look for specific information — all cognitive moves that significantly improve comprehension and engagement with the text.

What should students do when their prediction turns out to be incorrect?

Revising a prediction based on new evidence is just as valuable as confirming one — students should explain what text information changed their thinking, practicing the metacognitive skill of adjusting understanding in response to evidence.
