Making Inferences!

Making Inferences!
This week we are learning to make inferences.

Two books we read to help learn about inferences are:

One tool we used to help us understand what inferences are is the Infer Song.

Infer Song
(to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean")

Sometimes when you're reading a story

The words are not all there for you
So being a good book detective
Will help you to find any clue!

Chorus

Infer!  Infer!
Filling in what is not in the book!
Infer!  Infer!
It's taking a much closer look!

Some authors leave clues in their pictures.

Some authors leave clues in their text.
They give you just part of their story
And want you to fill in the rest!


Chorus

So when you are reading a story

Be careful to read what is there
But then figure out what is missing - 
Now you are inferring with flair!
