11. Reading Skill: Make Inferences
An inference is a logical assumption you develop about information not directly stated.
To make an inference, combine text clues with your prior knowledge, or what you already know.
For example, from the sentence “Tina smiled when she saw the snow,” you might infer that Tina is happy.
This inference is based on your prior knowledge that people smile when they are happy. Because the text states that Tina is smiling at the snow, you can infer that the snow is the reason she is happy.
