They read carefully, trying to check if the questions previously formulated are answered in the text. They also check if the vocabulary they predicted appears in the text. The students should indicate on the WFR form if their predictions were correct. Students often see the task as a challenge, and that increases their motivation. It is important to point out that WFR makes reading purposeful.
Students focus their attention on the necessary information.
To round up this activity, in part II of the WFR worksheet, students have the chance to write the main idea of the text. This section of the activity is very important because during the initial tasks students concentrate on specific information, probably neglecting the general content of the text. Finally, the teacher may discuss the results with the students, checking how many of their predictions were correct. The teacher may also promote a follow-up discussion about the topic of the text. It is important to mention that success in using WFR will depend on the attitude that teachers and students assume during its administration.
