On this Grade 2 worksheet, kids read multi-sentence passages and predict what will happen next. Four multiple-choice questions and five fill-in items give Grade 2 students lots of practice using clues to guess the next event. For example, if clouds are dark and wind is blowing hard, a storm will probably come. Hints and why explanations help young readers learn how to stack clues together for strong predictions.
