Prediction is a good guess. We make

predictions all the time in our
daily lives.

When we tell what will happen next, we

predict outcomes or the future results. We base our
prediction on given clues.

When we guess about what will happen next

based on the clues, we are making predictions and
it is called predicting outcomes.

In reading a story, we must develop the skill of being able to tell what
will happen next based on the given ideas. We are making a good guess about
what can happen next in the text.

3
 When making prediction, we use the clues like information and pictures
or relate our prior knowledge and personal experience.

Example No.1

Today is Daniel’s birthday. His mom will set a party for him. She went
to a market near the city. She wrapped a gift and bought balloons and cake.

Guide Questions:

1. Who is celebrating a birthday today?

Answer: Daniel is celebrating his birthday today.

2. What did Daniel’s mother buy in the market?

Answer: Daniel’s mother bought balloons and cake.

3. What do you think Daniel will do on his birthday?

Predicted Outcome: Daniel will open his gift and blow the candle of
his cake.

Note: We can predict the outcome of the text using the information or clues
given from the text itself. In the text given above, we were able to identify the
outcome with the information given: “Today is Daniel’s birthday” and “She
wrapped a gift and bought balloons and cake.”

Example No. 2

It was one rainy and cold Saturday morning. We were all at home and
watching TV. Mom went to the kitchen and look for something to cook and
eat on a rainy cold day.

What do you think is most likely to happen in the text?
