Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students pause while reading or listening and use words, pictures, headings, and earlier events to anticipate what comes next. They record their ideas, then confirm or revise them as they get new information.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student names a reasonable next event or piece of information and points to a supporting clue. After reading on, the student explains whether the idea was confirmed or changed.
Common Misconceptions: Students may guess from personal wishes instead of using clues from the text or pictures. They may retell what already happened rather than name what could come next. Some keep their first idea even when new details point elsewhere.
How to Assess It: Read an unfamiliar picture book and stop before a page turn. Have students write, “I think ___ because ___,” then check and revise after seeing the next page.

Lesson moves

Give pairs two illustrated story cards, then have them draw the likely third card and explain which details guided them.
Pause during a read-aloud and ask, “What do you think comes next, and which clue supports your thinking?”
Play Prediction Detective, awarding points when students support an idea with a word, picture, heading, or earlier event.
Use a weekly weather chart to predict tomorrow’s conditions, then check the forecast and update the chart the next morning.
