Predictions are based on what you think you might find out next in the text, or what the text is about. They are generally made from the title, pictures, words, etc. in the text and are done before you read or while you are reading. Predictions will either be confirmed by the end of the text or they won't be confirmed. You make predictions by questioning the story. What could happen next?

An inference requires you to figure out something from clues provided in the text PLUS your background knowledge. Inferences are made during reading. Inferences are not proved in the text by the end of the piece. An inference is a type of conclusion you must reach by using text clues and background knowledge. You make inferences by questioning yourself...Why did the author write this? How does the character feel? Why does the character feel this way? What clues make me think this?

Does this help?

Hi all,? I glean so much information from you all.? Have any of you used
"reciprocal teaching" with your classes?? I'm teaching 4th grade again next year, and comprehension is a big problem.? I just started reading Lori O's book on reciprocal teaching and want to know if any of you have results with it.
Thanks,
Brenda

http://www.lauracandler.com/? Laura Candler has a number of free resources and has writted an ebook called Empowering Readers, which is a step-by-step guide for implementing Reader's Workshop.?It's fabulous, downloadable, and not too expensive. I used this resource when I started RW and it was so helpful! For a little extra you can join her user's groups and collaborate with teachers from all over the country who are trying Reader's Workshop. http://hill.troy.k12.mi.us/staff/bnewingham/myweb3/? This is a 3rd grade teacher's site. She has been a featured teacher on scholastic.com. She has some great Reader's Workshop information and resources. Her whole site is full of helpful information. By the way, I believe strongly in RW. I found that all of my students responded to it and improved their reading skills. Most importantly, they all became passionate readers. Good luck to you!

Absolutely this one:

http://www.ttms.org/steve_peha/steve_peha.htm

I'd highly recommend Sharon Taberski.

<http://www.ttms.org/steve_peha/steve_peha.htm>Regie Routman's site, Nancie
Atwell's, Donalyn Miller

However, I would urge you to consider a couple other sources:? First,
Interlibrary Loan.? Your local library should be able to get you whatever
book you want for a pretty extended checkout time.? Next, Stenhouse and
maybe other publishers allow you to read several of their books online.? I'd
also recommend visiting amazon.com and reading about Linda Dorn and Carla
Soffos' books and see which of them would be the best fit for you.? Those
books are very reasonably priced.

We have had great results with reciprocal teaching when the teacher thoroughly modeled the process and carefully monitored. Sandy in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
