Story Snapshot Challenge

This worksheet guides students through a two-step prediction process: predicting from only a title and first sentence, then comparing that prediction with the full story. The structured format teaches students to make thoughtful forecasts before receiving more information. After reading the full passage, students reflect on how the story supported or changed their thinking. This encourages careful reading and comparison skills.

Predicting using limited information helps students practice forming logical expectations based on small clues. Reflection strengthens metacognition by helping students understand how and why their predictions changed. This process builds comprehension because students learn to reassess their thinking as they read. It also teaches flexibility, an important part of strong analytical reading.
