The video tutorial explains how to make inferences in reading by using clues from the text and one's own background knowledge, or schema. It covers three main areas where inferences can be made: setting, characters, and events. Through examples and practice exercises, viewers learn to deduce information not explicitly stated in the text, enhancing their understanding of stories.
