Predicting story events means using clues from the story to guess what might happen next. It's like being a detective! By paying attention to what characters say, how they act, and what problems they face, you can make smart guesses about the future of the story. This makes reading even more exciting because you're actively involved in figuring out what will happen!
When we predict, we use what we already know and what the story tells us. If a character is holding an umbrella, we might predict it will rain. If a character is sad, we might predict they will try to find something to cheer them up. Predicting helps us understand the story better and makes us better readers. Let's practice!
