If the story starts with 'Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved to explore', students might predict that the girl is going to go on an exploration journey. They could think about places she might go, like the mountains or the beach. Also, they can use their own experiences. If they like exploring in their own lives, they can imagine what the girl in the story will do based on that.
Making predictions to the story can boost their creativity. They can come up with all kinds of wild and wonderful ideas about what might happen in the story. This creativity not only makes reading more fun for them but also helps in other aspects of their development, such as in art or play, where they can use their imaginative ideas.
