Reading Strategies for Text

Inferencing is when the reader makes connections based on 

• what he or she thinks to be true
• what he or she thinks to be false

What do good readers do when they are reading?

• Visualize while they are reading.
• Talk to their mom about what they are going to do over the weekend.
• Just keep reading even if it doesn't make sense.
• Wonder why their teacher loves the color purple

Context clues help readers to...

• not understand what they are reading.
• understand the meaning of an unknown word.
• not use strategies.
• be confused.

To make an inference you take what you know, and what the author tells you to….

• come up with something the author doesn't tell you.
• know the wrong answer.
• not think about the story at all.
