What children learn in Level 43

Good readers make predictions: smart guesses about what will happen next, using clues.
Gray clouds and a raindrop on Zoe's nose? I predict it will rain! Then read on to check.
Good readers also make pictures in their minds. A little gray kitten slept on a soft pillow. Can you see it?
Predict, read on, and check. Picture the words as you read.
