Inferences are similar to predictions, but they’re not the same thing. They are both educated guesses based on context clues. However, a prediction is a guess about what will happen next. An inference is a guess about what is happening now.

For example, if your brother carries a bunch of schoolbooks into his room and shuts the door, you could infer that he’s studying right now. Because he is studying so hard, you might predict that he’s going to ace his test tomorrow.

"Kehlani ran down the stairs. She pulled on her heaviest coat and wrapped a big scarf around her neck. She zipped up her boots and pulled on a wool hat.

“Don’t forget your mittens!” her grandma called from the kitchen.

“Thanks, Grammy!” Kehlani said as she opened the front door and stepped outside."

What can you infer from the passage above?

• The house is very large.

• The weather is cold today.

• Kehlani’s grandma knits mittens.

• Kehlani doesn’t have any siblings.

After you’ve gathered evidence from the text and made a prediction, keep reading! Your prediction might be correct, or it might be incorrect. You can always revise your prediction as you read more and find more evidence.

Remember when you predicted your brother would ace his test? That prediction was based on the evidence that he brought his textbooks into his room and closed the door. Now imagine that you opened the door. Instead of studying, he’s snoring! How would that change your prediction about his test tomorrow?

When would you revise a prediction that you previously made?

• when you start a new book

• when you’re reading nonfiction

• when you come across new evidence

• when your favorite character is introduced

You can find clues in the text by

• making an inference.

• observing the details.

• calculating the answer.

• revising your prediction.
