Which cue type uses declarative statements related to the upcoming text to stimulate thinking and predict events?

Pre-reading anticipation guides use declarative statements about the upcoming text to spark thinking and forecast what might happen. By reacting to these statements—agreeing or disagreeing and then reading to test those ideas—students activate prior knowledge, set a purpose for reading, and become more engaged with the text as they look for supporting or contradicting evidence. This approach fits best because it deliberately uses prepared statements about the forthcoming material to prompt anticipation and prediction, rather than focusing on word meanings during reading (context clues), decoding sentence structure (syntactical cues), or organizing vocabulary features (semantic feature analysis).
