As they read, good readers draw conclusions. That is, in addition to reading the words, students utilize their imagination and knowledge of the world to fill in facts and ideas that are not specified in the text. This is commonly referred to as "reading between the lines." Because a writer cannot convey all the potential information about a topic or event, it is often required to read between the lines. Writers omit material that they believe readers would already know or can guess. Many types of writing involve the author presenting facts about a situation or issue and drawing conclusions from those facts

Facts are verifiable statements of information. Inferences are educated predictions based on evidence.

The Greedy Man

There once was a very greedy man who sold everything he owned and bought a brick of gold. He buried the gold brick behind a hut that was across the road from his shabby old house. Every day, the greedy man went across the road and dug up his gold brick to look at it. After a while, a workman noticed the greedy man going across the road every day, and decided to follow him. The next day, the greedy man dug down for his gold brick, but the hole was empty. He pulled at his hair, and cried out in sorrow. “My beautiful gold brick!” he wept. A neighbor came running, and asked the greedy man what had happened. When the greedy man told him, the neighbor just shrugged his shoulders. “Why be so sad?” said the neighbor. Just go get a rock and put it in that hole, and pretend that it is gold. It will do you as much good as the gold did.”

The Traveler

A man who had traveled far and wide came home to his small village. He gathered the villagers together to tell them of all the wonderful things he had done in all the places he had visited. In Russia, he had cut bricks of ice and built a palace. In China, he had flown the best dragon kite anyone had ever seen. In Africa, he had chased a lion. In Australia, he had jumped farther than the kangaroos. He had jumped farther than any man alive. The villagers listened with interest at first, and then began to smile. They turned to walk away, but the traveler said that there were many people in Australia who had seen his jump. They would be happy to be his witnesses. One of the villagers turned back to the traveler. “My good man,” he said. You need no witnesses. “Just pretend this is Australia, and show us.”
