We will be reviewing inferences this week. When a reader makes an inference, they are using their background knowledge, as well as clues from the text to make an inference, or guess about the text. Read for 20 minutes. Record the title of your books and the author’s name. Then write and tell me about an inference that you made. Use these sentence stems.
The text told me_____________________. I know ____________________. I can infer that ______________________________.
Example: I read Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak. The text told me that Max was dressed up in a wolf suit. I know that playing dress up requires you to use your imagination. I can infer that Max likes to use his imagination.
