  2. What is an inference? • Inferences are special kinds of guesses. • To make inferences, you have to come up with your own ideas, answers, and thoughts about what you have read. • Good readers can make inferences based on what a passage says.

  3. STEPS TO TAKE • 1. Read a passage carefully. • 2. Look for details about what a person does. What do the person's actions tell you? • 3. Look for details that describe a place or event. Based on real life, what do those details tell you? • 4. Make a guess (inference) about a character or item in the passage. • 5. Check to see if you can find a detail or sentence that led to your guess. If you cannot find something to support your guess, then your guess might be wrong.

Through the kitchen window he saw wildflowers in bloom. He saw pink, white, and some tiny blue splashes. He would just make a bouquet of flowers on his own. He could put the flowers in a jar and paint hearts on it. He felt better when he thought of how much his mom would love her present. He got to work.
