Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students predict what may happen or what information may come next by using clues from pictures, words, and prior events. They check each prediction as new details appear and revise it when needed.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student gives a reasonable prediction and points to a picture, word, or earlier event as evidence. After hearing more, the student confirms or changes the prediction and explains why.
Common Misconceptions: Students may make random guesses instead of using clues from words or pictures. They may think a changed prediction was wrong rather than a useful response to new information.
How to Assess It: Read one page of an unfamiliar picture book, then ask, "What do you think comes next, and what clue helped you?" After revealing the next page, ask whether the prediction should stay or change.

Lesson moves

Give pairs three picture cards from a simple sequence, hide the last card, and have them predict it before revealing it.
Pause after a page and ask, "What will happen next, and which picture or word gave you that idea?"
Play Prediction Detective: read short scenarios, let students choose one of two endings, then award a point for naming a clue.
Check tomorrow's weather symbols, predict what clothing people will use, then revisit the forecast later to compare the prediction with what happened.
