Every day I do a Read Aloud with the students. During Read Aloud, I work with the students on many different skills and concepts. Some things that are worked on include making predictions, relating information to prior knowledge, making connections, emphasizing story elements, guiding students with questioning, and working on summaries.
This week the focus is on making predictions about what happens in a story. Students need to be able to make a prediction and support their prediction. "I think ______________ because _____________."
Every Friday, the students will be given a quiz to assess their understanding of the Read Aloud topic. This Friday, the students will be given a quiz on predictions. I will read a story, stop half way through and students will be expected to write "I think ______________ because _____________." We have and will be discussing this all week at school, so students should be very familiar with this line. You can also use this line at home with your child to help reinforce the concept.
