Steps to Implement Inferences:

Benefits of this Strategy

Times Applications

1. Assign a reading to students.

2. Pose these questions with students for discussion

• It is a complex skill that combines reading with personal experiences to increase comprehension.

• It is a high order thinking skill.

• Explaining a student's inference requires critical thinking skills
