Making Inferences An inference is the ability to connect what is in the text with what is in the mind to create an educated guess. (Beers, 2003) So, an inference is drawing conclusions based on facts and observations combined with reasoning from experience.

Making Inferences Peter and Evan were walking home after the baseball game. Peter looked angry and Evan appeared to be a little sad and embarrassed. When they reached Peter’s house, he walked through the gate and up to the house. Evan said, “I’m really sorry… I’ll practice harder, I promise!” Peter did not respond. Instead, he just walked inside.

Making Inferences What conclusions and inferences can you make about this passage. Peter is mad Evan is regretful They were coming home from a baseball game, so whatever upset the boys happened there. Evan tells Peter he will practice harder Did Evan strike out? Did he make a bad play?

Making Inferences Conclusions and inferences should always be based on what is most likely true using the information available. Do not assume that the narrator of a story is giving false clues about the characters or plot. All the information you need to understand the story is probably given, or can be drawn through conclusions and inference.

Making Inferences Sarah had not studied for the science test. Her friend Beth always did very well in science. Sarah sat beside Beth in class. When Mrs. Banes began passing out the science test, Sarah leaned over to Beth. “Write big so I can see,” she whispered. Later, Mrs. Banes called the two girls to her desk.

Making Inferences What do I know from what I read… Sarah had not studied. Beth did well in science Sarah whispered to Beth to write big. Ms. Banes asked to see the girls at her desk. Now if I combine what I read and what I already know in my head about studying and test, I can infer that... Beth and Sarah got caught cheating
