Making Sense of Text While Reading
Good readers predict what they think will happen in a book. Predicting is different than making a guess. It is based on some kind of knowledge or evidence. Predicting helps readers want to read on to find out if their predictions are correct. Using what readers know from their own lives, or background knowledge, helps them make predictions.

Author's Purpose
Good readers use background knowledge and text format to help them make predictions. Good readers also think about why the author wrote the book, or the author's purpose. Thinking about the author's purpose as you read will help you determine what the author wants readers to learn by reading the book.
