Dialogue Outcome Predictor

Directions: Read each conversation scenario. Fill in the missing line(s) of dialogue based on what the characters might logically say. Then, make a prediction about what will happen next in the story.

This worksheet strengthens students’ ability to understand character interactions by asking them to infer logical dialogue and predict possible outcomes. The structured scenarios help students analyze tone, context, and relationship cues to craft responses that fit naturally into the conversation. Each prediction step pushes students to justify their thinking using the clues already given. These skills help students build confidence when interpreting conversations and writing realistic dialogue.

Working through activities like this helps students grow stronger in reading comprehension, inference-making, and narrative prediction. Students also practice applying context clues, identifying character motivations, and envisioning story direction. These are essential competencies for strong narrative writing and for understanding stories with implied rather than stated meaning.
