Step 5:
Review the title and the pictures with students and ask for student predictions
Teacher:  Now we are going to read the selection about "Animal Classification."  Look at the pictures on page ___.  Then read the title again.  What does it say?

Student:  Animal Classification.

Teacher:  That is right, now in your own words can you tell me what you think that this selection is going to be about.  (Making predictions)

Write student responses on the board or overhead.

Teacher: Now, remember that this passage may have some difficult terms, so when you come to one, try the way I just taught you figuring out the meaning or pronouncing the word.
