When watching a movie or reading any book, stop and think aloud about how you think the movie or story will end. As you read, stop at the end of each chapter or after each major event and talk about it: "Who do you think did it? Why?" or "How will this story end? Why?" Talk about hints you may have seen or read already. Learning and noticing story patterns from books and movies makes us all better readers.
