Anticipation and prediction.
Anticipation and prediction ate two basic reading skills that we use to predict
or guess how a passage will develop. We anticipate before we read a passage and
we predict after the passage begins.
Before we read we expect to find certain things in it. These may be answers
to certain questions in our minds about the subject or ideas that interest us. A
passage becomes much easier to read when we already have some ideas on the
subject or look forward to reading it. Our anticipation of what is in the passage is
therefore related to our own personal background knowledge on the subject.
When we are reading we are continuously making predictions or guesses
about what will come next in a passage as we continue to read the passage we find
that these guesses are either right or wrong. After a passage begins, we find clues
that help us predict what is going to come next.
The skill of prediction, like anticipation, makes it easier to understand the
sentences that follow and is therefore an essential skill in the reading
comprehension section of the exam. We can practice this skill by looking at
sentences and trying to predict what will come next.
