Inferencing

Have you ever been reading a book and something really exciting happens and you think “I just knew that was going to happen!”? You were making an inference! Inferences make reading exciting and give us that “I just knew it” feeling. When our inferences are right, they give us an excited, proud feeling even when they are wrong it is still exciting because we get that surprised or shocked feeling.

Inferences are really good guesses that use what we already know and the clues in the book to help us think about what might happen without the author telling us. It’s just like a hypothesis in science and estimation in math. We use what we know to predict what will happen next. They are important because they keep our brains and hearts (emotions) turned on while we read.

We make inferences all the time. Look at these three pictures:

I bet you can guess what is happening in these pictures without any words or explanations! That’s an inference.

For each picture tell what emotion you think they are experiencing and why you think that. Pick one and write 3 or 4 sentences about what you think is happening in the picture.
