Read with an adult. Take your time. You can say, point, draw or write your answer.
1 Let's look together
Listen: 'Ben filled a little watering can. He walked towards the dry flowerpot.'
A prediction is an idea about what might happen next. Use something in the story to help you. We do not know for sure yet.
Water in the canA dry flowerpotWhat might Ben do?
Look, point and talk with your adult.
2 Watch how I do it
I think Ben might water the plant. He has water and is going towards the dry pot. Those clues help my idea.
3 Your turn
Which prediction fits better: Ben waters the pot, or Ben flies to the Moon? Why?
Have a go before opening the answer.
Let's check together
Watering fits the can and dry pot. Nothing here suggests a Moon trip.
4 Try it away from the page
Your adult continues: 'Ben tipped water into the pot.' Did the ending fit your prediction? Make up another sensible ending together.

Adult notes · prerequisites, safety and coverage
Adult reads. Predictions need evidence, not exact future certainty. Use a familiar picture book for repeated practice and discussion.
Read instructions aloud. Word-reading practice must match the child's taught sounds. The phonics pages support, but do not replace, the school's systematic synthetic phonics programme. Shared stories are adult-read unless the child can decode them. Re-read and practise daily.
Explain vocabulary, find information, infer and predict with evidence.
Listen, take turns, ask questions and explain ideas aloud.
