Day 3

Second Grade Readers yesterday we really analyzed the character Ricky and we found out that he was ....... and we knew that because he did ....... Today I want to teach you that readers dont only make predictions at the beginning of books we also confirm or revise predictions as we go along . If what happens in the story matches what we predicted would happen, we notice that and carry our prediction with us as we read on . If that happens story does not match what we predicted then we need to revise.

( Readers read on and create new predictions about what will happen and the we read on with this revised predictions in mind)
