A Metacognitive Strategy of Predicting: Teaching Tentative Language to Overcome the Fear of Being Wrong

A powerful tool in achieving this is teaching and using tentative language. This blog will explore how to foster such an environment and provide practical strategies for incorporating tentative language into prediction activities.
