Predictable Books: Captivating Young Readers.

Luckner, John

Perspectives in Education and Deafness, v9 n1 p6-7 Sep-Oct 1990

Because prediction plays such a vital role in reading comprehension, predictable books are essential in the teaching of beginning readers. Prediction involves a three-step cycle: sampling, predicting, and confirming. Steps in using predictable books with hearing-impaired students are outlined, and a list of predictable and repetitive books is included. (JDD)
