Identifying Author's Purpose: Great Test Prep/Reading Comprehension Grades 6-10
When I look over my students' shoulders during standardized tests, I notice a LOT of questions about author's purpose.

Reading Interactive Notebook: Making Prediction Activities
Making predictions is a wonderful strategy to teach students to increase their comprehension! I explain to my students that while reading; good readers make logical guesses about what is going to happen in the story. Students do this by using text clues (headings, title, pictures, etc.). These logical guesses are called predictions. Not only do good readers make predictions, but they also revise or change their predictions when they learn new information. When these good readers are finis
