HOW TO Make a fairly accurate prediction

Reader's Prediction is a guess about what you are going to read. It allows you to set a Reader's purpose

Good Readers make fairly accurate predictions by taking into consideration multiple factors.

Scan: Title of text

Any Sub-text that is included with the text

Any previous learning(connections)

Any graphics that are included with the text(pictures, graphs, drawings etc.)

When these items are considered, they should be used as pieces of a puzzle to make a prediction.

Setting A Readers Purpose

Reader's Purpose is a question that you create to keep you connected to the reading.

It is created or born from your prediction

It should be answered, evolved, or even re-done as you read.

Tone vs. Mood

Tone: The words that the author uses to convey their attitude towards the situation/atmosphere of the story.

Mood: How the words that the author uses make the reader feel about the situation/atmosphere of the story.
