This document discusses making inferences and generalizations from reading passages. It provides examples of inferences, such as inferring a child's dislike of a fruit from his facial expression. It advises readers to look for clues in a text and ask questions to build inferences about characters and anticipate outcomes. The document also defines generalization as a statement that applies broadly to a category based on specific facts. It cautions that generalizations may be misleading if applied to an entire group, and provides an example of distinguishing a valid generalization from an overgeneralization.
