Learning Objective
I can use clues from the text to make inferences and support my understanding.
- 1
An inference is a conclusion that you draw from writing; it's an idea that isn't literally printed but is implied.
- 2
To make an inference, readers must act like a detective and search the text for clues.
- 3
Inferring is not guessing; inferences must be based on information directly from the text.
