Predictions

L.I To predict what will happen next in the book by looking at title and images from the front cover. 

Today I made a prediction for the book called "Picking Up Puha". (Puha is a vegetable that are mostly used in soups and are popular in some countries). We needed to make a prediction by looking at the title and the pictures that are shown in the front cover. We had to fill out the reading work that was set up for us which had questions that are saying like what our predictions are and what we think it is.

I learned by filling out the work that was setup for us, I also learned that predicting is very fun to do. I also learned that predicting is a reading strategy that I mostly use for some books that I read. I also learned that you are using your prior knowledge while predicting.
