Model/Instruct
1. Explain the lesson.
Today we will apply what we have learned about making predictions to a book. You will choose a leveled reader and complete a Prediction Chart while you read.
2. Teach students how to complete the Prediction Chart.
In the first section of the Prediction Chart you will write your prediction of what will happen in the story. Then you will fill out the second section and circle the clues that helped you to make your prediction. In the last section you will write what really happened in the story.
Practice
