What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use details from a text and what they already know to anticipate what may come next. They check each prediction as they read and revise it when new evidence appears.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students make a reasonable prediction using specific details and prior knowledge. As they read, they record whether new evidence supports or changes their thinking.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat a prediction as a random guess or refuse to revise it when new details appear. They may also name an outcome without citing clues from the text.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short passage that stops before a key event. Ask them to write what will happen next, cite two clues, then revise after reading the ending.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give pairs clue cards from a mystery story, then have them arrange the clues and record a supported prediction before reading the ending.
Pause before a turning point and ask, "What do you expect next, and which two details support your thinking?"
Play Prediction Relay, where teams read short sections, write a prediction, earn points for evidence, and revise after each reveal.
Use a weather report or sports preview to identify evidence, predict what comes next, and compare the prediction with the actual result.
