Kite Prediction

This worksheet supports students in Grades 1-3 as they practice reading comprehension, prediction-making, and creative thinking through a short narrative about Eli flying his kite. Students read the opening of the story and pause at a clearly marked “Prediction Stop,” where they use context clues to guess what might happen next. They then express their ideas through writing or drawing, strengthening both logical reasoning and imagination.
