Predicting -Henry's Freedom Box

This week I used the book Henry's Freedom Box to teach the skill of predicting. Predicting falls under the C on our CRAFT board because predicting helps us understand what we read. 
Prior to reading the book I showed the cover and gave each student a piece of paper.  On their paper they drew what they thought a freedom box was. We shared several predictions and then read the book. 
As we read we checked for understanding to continue practicing our previous comprehension strategy. 
After reading we discovered that many of our predictions were correct. Ask your child what a freedom box is.
