Making Predictions Reading Comprehension Worksheet Pack – Enhance Comprehension and Critical Thinking Skills

This set of Making Predictions Multiple Choice worksheets have been created and designed by an experienced teacher and are packed with engaging short stories. The comprehension question helps students to predict outcomes based on story clues. These story prediction activities challenge students to think critically before reading further and determine what might happen next. 

By reading short stories and then answering multiple choice questions about what will happen next, students can focus on using evidence from the text to guide their predictions. This process reinforces their ability to make logical inferences, a key component of reading comprehension.
