We have been learning about making inferences when we are reading texts. Watch these two videos that will teach you more about this reading comprehension strategy.

While watching the video pay attention to how the characters are feeling. Can you infer what they are feeling and why they are feeling that way? Did you answer any of the questions during the video? If so, what?

Making inferences is using what you know or see to come up with another idea.
Example:

Let’s go swimming to cool off!
What season is it?
a. Summer
b. Winter
(It does not tell you in the sentence but you can infer that it is summer because you know summer is hot and the season you are more likely to go swimming).

You’re turn…
The moon sure looks bright.
What time is it?
a. Morning
b. Night

Using what you know, what can you INFER about what time it is?
