Making Inferences:

Introduction:
Today we are going to work
with a reading skill that is
really a life skill.
Introduction:
Every day you make judgments
and comparisons, reach conclusions
and make inferences.
Introduction:
These things are a natural
part of the way we think, and
good thinking forms the
foundation for good reading.

I read about a

night in the Deep
South in the mid
1800s. I read
about his
thoughts of past
beatings and
suffering. He
also thinks of a
future of safety
and freedom.

I remember from
school that the Civil
War occurred in the
mid 1800s. Slaves
lived very difficult
lives, often filled
with abuse. Slaves
often had to run
and hide in order to
gain freedom.

Where are they?
Kristin and Larry are browsing
through the stacks. They
accidentally bump into each other.
Volumes fumble with a crash. A man
behind a desk puts his index finger

Where are they?
The crew has been confined for
months. The sonar hasn’t
picked up anything unusual, so
the tour of duty has been
uneventful. Suddenly, a large
jolt is felt. Crew members
rush to the periscope to see
what hit them.

Two- and Three-point scoring,
