The Prediction step teaches students to prepare their minds for new information and reminds them that they are reading for meaning.
- On the Prediction page, the student looks at the story title, picture, and key words for clues about the story. The student can click < Back to review the keyword definitions in the previous step.
- In the text box, the student types a prediction of what the story will be about. The Prediction step has a time limit. The timer begins when the student begins typing in the text box.
- When the student has finished the prediction or the time expires, the student clicks Next to continue.
Students can advance to the next step once they have typed a prediction in the box.
