The Amazing World Of Reading

This term room39 have being learning how to predict in reading. We are also learning how to summarise a story.


How do we predict?

Predicting is when we guess what is going to happen next in the story. Sometimes we predict during and after the story. Also we have predicted the characters future.

Predicting sentence starters:

>I think... because
>I'll bet... because
>I wonder if... because
> I imagine...because
>I suppose...because
>The style of this author is...so I think...
>From what I already know about...I predict

How do we summarise?

To summarise we take the main points or key words of a story and write a paragraph about the book using the key points.
