FAQ

How does making predictions before reading improve comprehension?

Predictions activate prior knowledge and set a reading purpose — students read to confirm or revise their guess, which increases attention and engagement with the text.

What text features help 2nd graders make accurate predictions?

Titles, headings, illustrations, first and last sentences, and bold vocabulary words all provide clues students can use to make informed predictions.

Should students be 'right' in their predictions for the activity to be valuable?

No — the value is in the reasoning process; students who make thoughtful, evidence-based predictions benefit even when the story surprises them.
