text based on clues provided by the author and one's own understanding of the content.
This reading strategy encourages readers to actively engage with the text, think critically,
and draw upon their prior knowledge and experiences to make inferences about the plot,
characters, themes, and outcomes.
➢ How to Predicting?
1) Analyze the text
2) Make connections
3) Formulate predictions
4) Revise predictions as needed
5) Reflect on predictions

determine which works best for you in different situations.
