module 4 prediction

This module was very helpful for me when I did my case study. I worked with the student on comprehension, retelling, and predictions. I liked the introduction of this module and how it explained what prediction meant and gave an example. The example they gave was predicting weather. I think using this example would be helpful for students since they can understand weather and the up and downs of it. When kids are reading their predictions should be the same.  When a reader makes a prediction they are using their background knowledge and textual clues to infer what will happen in the text. This is an important strategy to teach kids to help them with comprehension. I had the opportunity to teach the child I worked with during our case study. I related prediction to real life issues so she could see how we predict things daily.
