Next week will be progress monitoring, then we will make inferences in informational texts

• Reviewing what an inference is

• Practicing making inferences

What are we doing today?

What is an inference again?

Example:

Making an inference is really connecting our own experiences with what we read to make an guess.

If a text says that the character put on boots before going outside, I can think about times I have put on boots to guess what the character is doing next: going out while it is raining or snowing, taking a hike, going somewhere muddy like a field.

• Try to make an inference based on your own experiences or things you've read

You try making connections

• Read a passage

• Answer questions found directly in the text

• Answer questions we need to have evidence for

Now we can

Let's start with information

Now we move on to inferencing
