Inferences

Ms. Smith

What is an inference?
An inference is something you come up with based on prior knowledge and evidence. When you make an inference you will read something, come up with what you know about it, and then draw a conclusion. Basically, you are putting two and two together

Do you know that you make inferences every single day?

Do you Compare things? Make predictions? Settle arguments? Make decisions? Evaluate situations?

How do good readers make an inference?

CLUES- words, text, & pictures Look up words that you do not know Look for feelings/emotions Look for explanations ASK YOURSELF QUESTIONS

Make an inference:
It is very hot outside. Summer is the hottest season.

If there is a picture.
You can often picture what the setting is. You need to read between the lines and make an inference about what the picture is showing. The setting will usually tell you - The mood - How the characters are feeling - And sometimes what might happen next

Good readers are like detectives because they are always looking out for clues and trying to solve the mystery.
