The video tutorial explains the concept of making inferences in reading. It highlights that authors often do not provide every detail about characters and events, so readers must deduce missing information through character actions, dialogue, and thoughts. The tutorial provides examples with stories about Cameron and Josh, and Sharon, to practice making inferences. It emphasizes the importance of using clues to understand characters' feelings and relationships, and encourages readers to apply these skills throughout their reading.
