I am Learning to Predict and Re Predict as I Read.

I am in Pascal group for Reading, we are working at Turquoise. We have been learning to predict what will happen in a story and then re predict as we read. It is important to remember that it is okay for a prediction to be wrong!

I need to:

- Use picture information to make a guess as to what the story is about

- look for clues in the text that tell you what might happen next

- use clues from the text to make changes to my predictions

We read the story: The Hailstorm

Prediction 1:

By looking at the front cover, I think that the characters will be playing with a ball and then the sky will turn black and they will go into a shed.

Prediction 2:

After reading to page 8, I have found out that my prediction was right! I have made a new prediction about what is going to happen next. I think that the characters will open the door and look and it is still raining. They will wait in the shed until it stops.

What really happened:

After reading the whole book, I have found out that both of my predictions were right. Something also happened that I didn't predict, there came snow!

My Reflection
I am proud of  think that I looked for clues on the front cover and in the story well so that I could think about what might happen.
I will think very hard when making predictions.
It is okay for my predictions to be wrong because they are just my thoughts.
