Strategy-Inference/Prediction

Students make inferences about text they are reading to interpret meaning

and develop deeper understanding.

The teacher will read a story about snowstorms. Before the teacher begins reading she will read them the title and question the students on what they think the story is going to be about. The teacher will write the predictions the class makes on the board. Next the teacher will read one passage from the story and stop to ask the class if they want to make any other predictions. This process will continue until the entire story is read. Then the teacher will discuss with the students about the predictions they made that weren’t in the story, and cross them off.
