About this resource
Description
A prediction is not a guess. It is a claim a reader can defend, built out of clues the writer has already put on the page. This Wallet Wonder Predictions Worksheet gives second graders a short story that stops one step before the ending, then asks them to say what happens next and to point at the words that told them so.
Two friends walking home from the park find a wallet on the path. Inside is a library card with a name they recognize, and some folded money. The story ends with the pair looking down the block at an open shop door. Four multiple-choice questions follow: one asks for the prediction itself, one asks which clue supports it, one checks a setting detail, and one asks for the main idea. A written response closes the sheet. Because every clue in this 1st grade predictions worksheet points the same way, the prediction has one best-supported answer and a complete answer key is included.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- An original 150-word story that stops before the ending, with an illustration
- 4 multiple-choice questions on prediction, evidence, detail and main idea
- 1 written response question with ruled writing lines
There are three reasons this resource helps children learn to predict. First, the story withholds the ending on purpose, so a student has to reason forward instead of remembering backward. Second, one question on this Wallet Wonder Predictions Worksheet asks for the clue rather than the outcome, which is the habit that turns a lucky guess into a supported claim. Third, the written response asks for two details, so students practice defending a prediction the way a reading test will ask them to.
Teachers and parents can keep this going with almost any book. Stop halfway down a page and ask what happens next and why. Write the class prediction on the board, read on, then go back and ask which clue held up. Cover the last panel of a comic strip and let students draw their own ending. Predictions are more fun out loud, and the habit of naming the clue is what makes them stick.
