A story page says only "Oh no!", and the picture shows three clues one at a time (a dark cloud, raindrops and an umbrella) that explain it is raining. Children then use the same clues to guess that the girl will open her umbrella, and turning the page shows the guess was right.

What the lesson says

Here is a page from a story.

Let's read the words. Oh no!

What is wrong? The words do not say.

Now let's look at the picture for clues.

Clue one is a dark cloud.

Clue two: raindrops are falling down.

Clue three: she has an umbrella.

The clues tell us it is raining!

Now we know why she says, Oh no!

What happens next? The clues help us guess.

My guess is she will open her umbrella.

Let's turn the page and check.

Phew! She opens her umbrella. We guessed right!

When you read, look at the pictures for clues.
