What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use details from a story or informational text to decide what will probably come next. They revisit their ideas as new details appear and change them when needed.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students make a reasonable prediction and point to details that support it. As they read, they record whether the prediction was confirmed, revised, or rejected and explain why.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may make random guesses instead of using text clues. They may keep an early prediction even when new details contradict it, or assume an incorrect prediction means failure.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short passage that stops before the ending. Ask them to predict what comes next, cite one clue, then revise after reading one more paragraph.
