Inferences & Interpretations
0 likes318 views
To make inferences, readers use clues from the text along with their own background knowledge to figure out information not directly stated. Making inferences makes reading more engaging by allowing readers to connect the text to their own lives. Readers can infer by finding clues in the text, adding those clues to what they already know, and coming to a supported conclusion, though there may be multiple correct inferences. Previewing a passage helps with making inferences by prompting readers to consider what they already know and what experiences relate to the upcoming text.
