Make Predictions

• Good readers use both story details and what they already know in order to make predictions about what may happen.

• As readers read, they also revise or confirm their predictions.

• Making predictions in this way can be fun, like a guessing game. It also helps readers understand and remember what happens in a story.

• Authors almost always give clues about what may happen.

Who’s Nervous Now?

“Did you two choose your music for the piano recital?” asked Mom.

“I’ll do it later,” said Nan. She had two whole weeks until the recital.

Ned turned the pages of his music books. After much deliberation, he made a decision. “I’m going to start practicing right now,” he said.

Nan put off choosing her music. Instead, she spend her time thinking about what other people

Who’s Nervous Now? might play, how she should bow after her

performance, and whether she should greet the audience with a big or small smile. Meanwhile, Ned worked hard practicing the piece he had chosen. “You’re just practicing so much because you’re Nervous Ned,” said Nan. “I never get nervous.”

The day before the recital, Nan chose her music. She began to practice, but the piece was too hard. She chose another piece, and that was hard, too. “Mom,” Nan cried, her stomach full of bubbles, “I have to tell Ms. Prince that I can’t play at the recital. I don’t have time to learn my music!”

At the recital, Ned felt confident. When he performed, he had fun and played well. Nan, from her seat in the audience, was surprised. “Wow,” she said. “I guess practice got rid of Nervous Ned!”

GrammarContractions

Contractions are a way to combine two or more words by replacing letters with an apostrophe. A contraction does not change the meaning of the combined words.

Remember: Subject pronoun contractions combine a subject pronoun and a verb, such as they’re, she’s and you’ve. Negative verb contractions combine a verb and

the word not, such as didn’t, can’t and wouldn’t.
