RECAP

We’ve learned about how to arrange the events in a

story from first to last that happened in the story. We all
know that events tell what happened in the story. The word
first, next and last tells us the correct order so that we can
easily know the correct sequence of the events in the story.

LESSON

Making predictions is an important reading skill that

shows that you understand the story and it also helps you
to develop your imagination and thinking skills.
Predicting outcomes means thinking what will happen
next. In using the events that happened in the story we can
able to predict what happened next. We may also use
information from our experiences.
Today, let us talk about predicting the possible ending
of the story read. So now let us read some short story and
we will give the possible ending of the story.
