  1. Drawing Inferences

  2. Read Between the Lines • Not all information is clearly stated. • Some information is implied and must be inferred by the reader.

  3. Sources of Inferences • You can sometimes draw an inference by observing something or someone. • You can draw inferences when having a conversation with someone, either by the way the person said something or what was left unsaid. • In reading, inferences can be drawn by analyzing the actions of the characters.

  4. Inferences vs. Facts • Inferences must be drawn from the facts that are provided to be accurate. • However, you can underline a fact in a book, but you can only feel an inference.

  5. Higher-Order Skills • The ability to draw inferences is one of the higher-order reading skills.
