Comprehension Strategy- Making Inferences

This week in reading I introduced a comprehension strategy called "Making Inferences".  An inference is when you take clues and the information you already know to make a conclusion about something.  Good readers use inferencing while they read.  I began this lesson with a Brain Pop Jr. video on inferencing.  The next day I had students pull items out of my purse.  These "clues" or items helped the children make an inference about me.  The students really enjoyed it!
