Comprehension

Make and adjust predictions; use text to confirm

This is a great story to use with prediction as each page offers a clue in the illustration as to what animal the boy will meet next. Ask the children what animal they think the boy will see on the next page. Ask them what is the picture clue that leads them to think the boy will meet that animal next.
