Prediction is an important good reader strategy because it helps students activate their schema (background knowledge). They use their knowledge of the world, story elements, and text features to make an informed guess about what they think will happen next or what they think they will learn. This helps readers set a purpose for reading. It is important to teach students that their predictions should be based on evidence from the text or other background knowledge. Students also need to realize that prediction is not something that is done only prior to reading a text–good readers confirm or adjust their predictions as they read and continue to make new predictions throughout their reading.

Word Prediction
Before reading, have students generate a list of words that they predict will be found in the text. During reading, stop periodically to have students make note of words that have appeared in the text and give them an opportunity to add more word predictions to the list.


Prediction Stroll Line
Have students preview a text and write down several predictions with clues from the text. Divide class into two lines so that each student is facing a partner. Partners share their predictions and clues with each other. Signal one line of students to stroll down to share predictions with the next partner. Repeat several times. Gather students together to debrief. Discuss and list several predictions on chart paper. Return to the chart paper to confirm or adjust predictions after reading.
