The Explorer - Session 25 - Prediction

Session 25 of 'The Explorer' poses an intriguing question for young readers to ponder: Will Fred manage to pilot the plane all the way to Manaus? This session serves as an opportunity for students to engage in prediction, a key comprehension strategy that encourages them to use information from the text alongside their own reasoning to make an educated guess about future events in the story. By contemplating this question, students are prompted to think critically about the narrative and the character of Fred, considering his skills, experiences, and the challenges he may face.

Students are invited to record their predictions in a dedicated space, allowing them to articulate their thoughts and expectations. This activity not only enhances their understanding of the storyline but also fosters their ability to infer and anticipate possible outcomes. By making predictions and later reflecting on the accuracy of their guesses, students can deepen their comprehension and enjoy a more interactive reading experience. This exercise is an excellent way for children to connect with the text and become more involved in the unfolding adventure.
