I will teach the reading comprehension skill of making predictions about the text content using fiction short stories. I will model how to make inferences about the characters and plot in the story. Making inferences is an important skill students learn when reading a story. It helps them predict how the characters will act and how the plot of the story will develop as they continue reading. Students will practice the skill using online group activities and games. These interactive activities are designed to get students thinking about what they are reading and to answer questions that require inferencing. Short story read-aloud resource: Making Predictions short stories, The Puppies in the Yard, and Be a Predicting Ninja game resource.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their ability to think about what they are reading and to answer prediction questions about what happens next.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Iowa Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello, my name is Kathleen Bernath Jenkins and I am a recently retired elementary public school teacher in Missouri. I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree in differentiated instructional methods. Most recently, I have taught fourth-grade students the core academic skills: reading, grammar, writing, math, science, and social studies.
I have a passion for teaching children the skills needed for them to be successful citizens. I believe all children can achieve success at school by differentiating instructional methods, which allows for individual growth and expression. My approach to teaching is to focus on best practices, those proven to be successful across all educational settings: teacher modeling and interaction with students, setting clear objectives at the start of each lesson, encouraging group participation, and debriefing together at the close of a lesson.
Besides my love of teaching, I also have a greenhouse and enjoy growing and propagating plants, especially tropical and rare varieties!Reviews
