WORDS
TO KNOW
Prediction an educated guess, based upon facts, about what is going to happen next in a
story or passage
Review It!
Read these sentences. Use the Hint to help you predict what will happen
next in a frog’s life cycle.
Many animals hatch from eggs and grow
into adults that lay new eggs. Some
animals that hatch from eggs go through
major changes before they become
adults. For example, when a frog’s egg
hatches a tadpole comes out.

Try It!
Hint The facts given help you figure out what
will happen next. If a tadpole hatches from a
frog’s egg, then a tadpole will change into a
frog. Then that frog may lay its own eggs.
Read this passage. After you read each paragraph, write a prediction about
Wayne Gretzky on a separate piece of paper. Underline the information in the
passage that you based your predictions on.
1
Wayne Gretzky was born on January 26th, 1961 in Ontario, Canada. Hockey is a
popular sport in Canada, so many Canadian children learn to ice-skate and hit hockey
pucks at a young age. Wayne began playing hockey when he was six years old. He only
scored one goal in his first season. Poor Wayne was the only boy who was not awarded a
trophy that year.
2
Wayne cried and felt discouraged, but he would not give up. His father made an ice rink
with a backyard sprinkler. Wayne practiced on it constantly. By the time he was eight
years old, Wayne was scoring more goals than anyone his age.
3
When he got older, Wayne was skilled enough to be a professional player. However, he
was small and skinny. Most hockey players are big and muscular. Many people doubted
that little Wayne would make it in hockey. They could not have been more wrong.
Now, use the passage to answer the questions on the following page.

On Your Own!
Read this passage. Answer the questions that follow it.
How do you decide what to wear in the morning? When do you bring an umbrella
with you to school? You listen to the weather forecaster. He or she forecasts how
warm or cold it will be outside, and whether there will be clouds, sunshine, rain,
or snow.
Special tools help the weather forecaster predict the weather. The tools measure the
temperature of the air and how much moisture it holds. Air with similar temperatures
and moisture tend to gather into masses. Warm air masses can hold more moisture and
move upward, while cold air masses are drier and sink downward.
When two air masses meet, they form a front—this is where bad weather usually
happens. There are warm fronts and cold fronts. A warm front occurs when a mass
of warm, moist air slowly slides above a cold air mass, which forms clouds and light
rain. After a warm front passes, it gets warmer and sunny. A cold front occurs when
a cold mass of air pushes under a warm air mass, which forces the warm air to rise
very quickly. Tall clouds and heavy rain as well as thunderstorms and snowstorms
happen at cold fronts. When the cold front passes, it gets colder and sunny.
