Monday, January 21st, Ms. Barrientos at Ray Darr helped her students understand the concept of predictions.
Ms. Barrientos was able to lend a helping hand and help student create predictions from the story they read.
A reader involved in making predictions is focused on the text at hand, constantly thinking ahead and also refining, revising, and verifying his or her predictions.
This strategy also helps students make connections between their prior knowledge and the text.
