A teacher of class VI does a warm up activity to connect their previous knowledge and experience with the text they would read. She asks her learners to look at the illustrations of the reading text (the story) before she begin to teach the text. What does she want her learners to do ?

The correct option is Make prediction about the reading text.

Explanation:

In reading pedagogy, pre-reading activities are designed to activate learners' prior knowledge, stimulate curiosity, and set a purpose for reading. Asking students to examine illustrations or pictures before reading the story encourages them to draw inferences and anticipate what the text will be about.

This process of forecasting events, themes, or outcomes based on visual cues is called making predictions. It actively engages students' critical thinking and comprehension skills before they dive into the written text, rather than merely focusing on visual appreciation or passive visualization alone.
