The Journey to The Stars Pre-Reading Activity

When you begin The Journey to The Stars: Pre-Reading Activity, you prepare your mind for an exciting adventure into space before opening the book or story. This playsheet helps you activate your imagination, spark curiosity, and think about what you already know about stars, astronauts, space travel, and the universe. By doing this first, you build a strong foundation that makes the reading easier and more meaningful.

As you look at the prompts and images, you’ll notice how each question encourages you to think about space in new ways. You might predict what challenges astronauts face, imagine what a rocket launch feels like, or consider why people are fascinated by the stars. These ideas help you connect your own experiences and knowledge to what you are about to read.

You’ll also enjoy using creative thinking to make predictions about the story. Maybe the journey leads to a new planet, a distant galaxy, or a surprising discovery. Thinking ahead helps you set a purpose for reading—your brain becomes eager to find out if your predictions are correct. This step increases engagement, making you a more active and curious reader.
