Reading Skill: Prediction

This week Room 5 has been learning to make predictions about the story they read. As we were learning the skill we found out that predicting happens all the time when we are reading. We used the Y chart to make predictions and inferences about what happened before, after and during the story.  Students in Room 5 agreed that the exercise  helped them understand the story better as they they talked about what may happen next in the story. It also helped them to make connections with what they already know about the topic.
