​Making Inferences

Inference involves using clues or evidence from a text to draw conclusions about things that are not directly stated.


It requires readers to use their background knowledge and reasoning skills to make
educated guesses about what is
happening or what will happen next.

​Definition:

Inferences are based on clues or evidence found within the text, including descriptions, actions, dialogue, and context.

These clues may be explicit or implicit and require readers to make connections between them
to form conclusions.

​Clues and Evidence:

​EVIDENCE

​Explicit
Something that is stated directly in the passage.

Implicit
Something that is stated not directly in the passage.

Readers often rely on their background knowledge or prior experiences to make inferences.

This includes knowledge about the world, cultural norms, and common patterns found in literature.

​Background Knowledge:

There are various types of inferences that readers can make:

-drawing conclusions about characters' feelings, motivations, or intentions

-predicting future events based on foreshadowing

-making connections between
different parts of the text.

​Types of Inferences:

Inference is a critical reading skill as it allows readers to deepen their understanding of a text beyond the literal meaning of the words.

It encourages readers to think critically, make logical connections, and engage with the text on a deeper level.

​Importance:

​How do you infer?

​SCHEMA- Think back to prior knowledge - what you already know.



EVIDENCE - Look around
for clues in the text.




INFERENCE - Develop
ideas from combining
schema and evidence.
