Twist Panel Predictions

This worksheet supports students in Grades 4 and 5 as they strengthen prediction and comprehension skills through short, comic-strip-style scenes. Learners analyze visual details-facial expressions, body language, setting, and actions-to predict what will happen next, then explain their reasoning in writing, blending visual literacy with evidence-based thinking.
