The document provides information and strategies for teaching students how to draw conclusions and make generalizations from reading selections. It defines conclusions and generalizations, and presents five strategies for teaching these skills: 1) the CFC (Code, Fact, Conclusion) model, 2) the text-to-self strategy, 3) detecting motives, alibis, and clues, 4) using graphic organizers, and 5) asking questions that evoke conversations about inferences. Examples are provided to demonstrate each strategy. The document concludes by defining generalizations and discussing how to teach students to distinguish between valid and faulty generalizations.
