Inference
• Take what you know and make a
guess!
• Draw personal meaning from text
(words) or pictures.
• You use clues to come to your own
conclusion.

Question…
• What did I already know that
helped me make that inference?
• Did I use picture or written clues?

How Do Good Readers Make
Inferences? • They use:
1. Word/text clues
2. Picture clues
3. Define unknown words
4. Look for emotion (feelings)
5. Use what they already know
6. Look for explanations for events
7. ASK themselves questions!

Make Another Inference
• Miss Chen has lunch duty. Jacob finds a
frog, picks it up, and runs over to show it
to Miss Chen. Miss Chen screams, jumps,
and runs as fast as she can into the
school.
• What can you infer from this passage?
• What are the “clues” in this passage?

Authors vs. Readers
• Authors Imply, Readers Infer.
• Authors make implications that readers
have to infer.
• What do I mean by these statements?
• Good Readers are Detectives who are
always looking out for clues to help them
better understand stories and pictures.
