Predict What Happens to Pip and Dad

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 stories about Pip the cat and Dad's soapy bucket, circle what happens next and tell why. The directions on the page read: An adult reads each story aloud with the student. Then, circle the picture of what will happen next. Then, tell your grown-up why. 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.

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