 Predicting Outcomes

What is It

“Predictions are the connecting links between prior knowledge and new
information in the book. It’s the interaction of these processes that
coalesce—much like sparks firing before the bright flame ignites. . .”

-Gillett and Temple, 1990

Reading, viewing, and listening to predict outcomes is made to identify an expected

outcome or a possible consequence based on certain tendencies observed. In order
to be able to predict outcomes, one must see the relationships between the given
facts first. Then possible outcomes can be anticipated or predicted. When students
make predictions, their understanding increases, and they are more interested in
reading and illustration materials.

• Use background information that you already know or your prior knowledge and
evidence on what will happen next.
• Use your knowledge of the vocabulary, idea, text organization, author, and other
connections.
• Monitor your predictions as you read and adjust or confirm them as needed to
better understand the text.
• Use what the author, illustration, or text is telling you.

A prediction is a guess based on How Does Predicting Help?

Types of Prediction
“It is raining and the sun is out one could predict there may be a rainbow.”
“We need to estimate how many papers we’ll need for the module answer
sheet.”
“My hypothesis is if I get at least 8 hours of sleep, I will do better on my
exam than getting less sleep.”
“As I listen to her song, I guess that she is inspired with hope after the
pandemic.”
