2. Predicción

del tema central a partir del título, subtítulo, imágenes. Solé(1994) postula que las prediccionesconsisten en establecer hipótesis ajustadas sobre lo que va a encontrarse en el texto, apoyándose en la interpretación que se va construyendo del texto, los conocimientos previos y la experiencia del lector. Smith (1990) nos dice: la predicción consiste en formular preguntas; la comprensión en responder a esas preguntas “. Al leer, al atender a un hablante, al vivir cada día, estamosconstantemente formulándonos preguntas. En la medida en que respondemos a esas interrogantes, en la medida en que no nos quedamos con ninguna incertidumbre, estamos comprendiendo.
