As usual, Jim left for school ten minutes later than he should have. His shoelaces were untied and his backpack was unzipped. He had traveled only one block when he heard his mother shout his name. He looked back and saw her waving his brown bag lunch.

Why is predicting important to readers?

Making predictions activates students' prior knowledge about the text and helps them make connections

between new information and what they already knowBefore you read:• Effective readers use pictures, titles,

headings, and text to make their predictions.After you read:• After making predictions, you can read

through the text you can revise and verify your predictions.
