Year 2 Predicting Reading Unit

Build confident, evidence-based readers with a complete Year 2 unit on predicting. Students learn to combine text or picture clues with what they already know, make a sensible prediction, explain their reasoning and revise their thinking when new evidence appears.

The sequence begins with explicit whole-class teaching and teacher modelling, then develops the skill through colourful prediction stations, a board game, scaffolded worksheets, differentiated support and extension, exit tickets and a two-part assessment.
