We use information from the text and pictures to help us determine what will happen in the story. To make a prediction you should look at the text, illustrations, and what has previously happened in the story. Making predictions may help us to understand the story better, may help us understand the sequence of events, or why certain things happened. Students will be able to list questions asked when making predictions. We also felt that the children would like this book.
