Foreshadowing

​Foreshadowing

When making a prediction, you use clues from the text to guess what will happen next. Similarly, foreshadowing is when an author gives clues to hint at something that will happen later on in the story.

Sometimes the clues are obvious, but other times they are more subtle. Some clues may not be obvious until you get to the end of the story.

​Foreshadowing

Authors use foreshadowing to create tension and build suspense in a story. As you read, be on the lookout for clues the author leaves you, and pay attention to your own feelings as you read. If you read a passage and start to feel anxious or worried about what may happen, think about why you got that feeling. Those details could be foreshadowing.
