This worksheet helps you practice making predictions before reading a story or text. Here’s how to use it:
1. Look at the title, pictures, or first few sentences of what you’re about to read.
2. Think: “What do I think will happen next?” or “What is this story probably about?”
3. In the big circle (the crystal ball), draw a picture that shows your prediction.
4. Below the crystal ball, write one or two sentences explaining your prediction using the words “I predict...”
Example:
If the story is called “The Lost Puppy,” you might draw a puppy looking sad in the rain and write:
“I predict the puppy will get lost and then find its way home with help from a kind stranger.”
You can do this for any story — fiction, nonfiction, even science articles! It helps your brain get ready to learn.
Final Answer:
Draw your prediction inside the crystal ball and write “I predict...” followed by your idea on the lines below.
