 What Is It

Prediction is a strategy in which readers use information from a text (including

titles, headings, pictures, and diagrams) and their own personal experiences to
anticipate what they are about to read (or what comes next).

Making predictions is a basic reading skill that requires higher level thinking.
To make a good prediction, readers must consider available information and make
an inference. Good readers make predictions based on textual evidence.

Story clues + your experience = PREDICTION

You can make a prediction when you use clues from the story, together with
what you know from your own experiences, to figure out what will happen next.

 What Is It

Why is important to ask question BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER reading or

listening to a material viewed or listened to?

BEFORE READING
It activates prior knowledge or stock knowledge of the reader or listener. It
sets the purpose for reading. Asking questions before reading is like predicting on
what the text all about.

DURING READING

It activates your knowledge about the material that you read. To verify that we
understand what we are reading.

AFTER READING
It provides the readers the opportunity to summarize, reflect, discuss, and
respond to the text better.

What’s In

In the previous lesson, you have learned to raise questions about the text
listened to.

What I Need to Know

Summarizing

Buckley (2004), in her popular writing text Fit to Print, defines summarizing as
reducing text to one-third or one-quarter its original size, clearly articulating the
author’s meaning, and retaining main ideas.
The purpose of summarizing is to briefly present the key points of a theory or
work in order to provide context for your argument/thesis.

Text
A text is anything that conveys a set of meanings to the person who examines
it. You might have thought that texts were limited to written materials, such as books,
magazines, newspapers, and ‘zines (an informal term for magazine that refers
especially to fanzines and webzines).

Activity 1: Background Knowledge-Check
Directions: Assess your background knowledge on Singapore.
Check “Yes” or “No” on the table below.

Singapore Yes No
Singapore is a country in Southeast Asia.
It is an independent country that has only one city.
In 1975, they gained their independence and established their own
government.
 Over 20,000 companies from around the world have offices in
Singapore.
Tourism is another important area for Singapore's economy.

What Is It
In the activity above, you assessed your background knowledge of Singapore.
Now, you need to prepare yourself for the listening activity. Hence, understanding of
what is listening comprehension is important.

Listening comprehension is the precursor to reading comprehension, so it’s

an important skill to develop. Listening comprehension isn’t just hearing what is said
— it is the ability to understand the words and relate to them in some way.

For example, when you hear a story that is being read aloud, good listening
comprehension skills enable you to understand the story, remember it, discuss it, and
even retell it in your own words. You use these same comprehension skills when you
read.
