What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use clues in a text to predict the next event, idea, or piece of information. As they continue reading, they check each prediction and revise it when new evidence appears.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students make reasonable predictions based on plot details, text structure, tone, or stated facts. They record whether each prediction was confirmed, rejected, or revised and explain why.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat predictions as guesses with no support from the text. They may also keep an early prediction even when later details point elsewhere.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short unfamiliar passage that stops at a turning point. Ask them to predict what comes next, cite two clues, and explain what could change their prediction.

Ways to Teach It
Have pairs place sticky-note predictions on a printed story, then move or replace each note as new evidence appears.
Pause before a key reveal and ask, "What will happen next, and which two details make that outcome likely?"
Run a prediction points game where teams earn one point for evidence and another for accurately revising after each paragraph.
Read the opening of a news report, predict the details that follow, then compare predictions with the complete article.
