1.3 Strategies During Reading

Make Predictions

Make predictions! This means giving your best guess (based on what you have read so far) about what will happen next.

You are not expected to be a fortuneteller, but it's fun to try. Also, predicting is helpful for engaging your brain.

After you read a paragraph or a page, before you read further, predict what you think will happen next.

If the end of a chapter ends in a cliffhanger, imagine what you think will happen next. Then go on to the next page to see if your guess was right.
