Guess What Is Inside the Book

Read each story aloud slowly, then pause and ask what will happen next before your child looks at the pictures. Ask which words helped, and point back to them in the story. Check with the answer key.

Hear 3 book titles like Off to the Moon, then circle what you will see inside each book. The directions on the page read: An adult reads each book title aloud with the student. Then, circle the picture that shows what you will see inside the book. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten reading comprehension, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with predictions. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

No. Each page tells an adult to read the stories or book titles aloud. The child listens, circles a picture and tells why, so the skill practiced is thinking, not decoding.

Ask which words in the story helped. In Predict What Happens to the Seed and the Muffins, Mom puts on oven mitts and the timer goes beep, beep, so the muffins are ready to come out.

Yes. All 6 predictions sheets have an answer key that rings the picture that fits the clues.
