1. Part 3 Interpreting What We Read
Chapter 5
Inference

2. Inference A good reader makes educated guesses
based upon observable details.
We use our intuition and experiences
to create a likely interpretation
of what is happening in a story,
while being careful
that our interpretation
is logical and realistic.

3. Chapter 5 Test Taking Tip--Creating Review Tools
Make To-Do Lists
Make a list of the things you need to study for your course.
Check each item off as you study it.

4. Use 3X5 flash cards to test yourself
For example, on one side of the card write the word you need to know, and on the other write the definition.
Or, on one side write a review question,
and on the other write the answer.
Carry the cards with you.
You will be surprised at the many opportunities you will have for studying them, such as when you are standing in line at the bank.

5. Create summary sheets
Go through your lecture notes and text underlinings,
and jot down the key points on a piece of paper.
Quiz yourself on these key points by asking yourself
to recall what is on the sheet.

6. Create question-and-answer sheets
Fold a piece of paper in half
or use the front and the back of the paper
to create tests for yourself.
