I found this article helpful to review before planning my lessons in order to strategize how to teach both skills successfully.
It isn’t easy because they are quite similar yet not interchangeable. In the past, I have struggled to explain the difference between making inferences and making predictions. It is a diverse group of stories- some are wordless, others are silly, and some contain mature themes that will require a bit of analysis to unpack. Ideally, they will eventually be able to make inferences by combining what they see and read in the text with their personal background knowledge.īelow I have highlighted ten books that are wonderful for using in conjunction with strategies to teach inferencing. That is a great starting point, but, as teachers, we want them to progress far beyond that.
Once students learn how to make inferences, reading will become much more enjoyable and fulfilling! At the beginning stages of inferring, students might look at the pictures and explain what is happening.
