Reading Resources: Day 3

Reading Strategy: Predicting 

Predicting is a great strategy to help your child read. If you are anything like me, you skim through a book you are about to read to see what is coming. This is what we want our kids to practice! We call this a picture walk in our reading group. We look at all of the pictures in the story and then make predictions about what the story will be about.
