Students have been learning about another important reading strategy which involves using their schema and clues from the text. Readers can infer about a character, what may happen or is happening in a story or infer what a word means. They have had some opportunities to do this throughout the week and will continue throughout the year.
At the beginning of last week, students had an interesting experience with inferring as I told them I collected some things from my neighbor's garbage. Inferring can be very much like being a detective. Students were asked to examine the trash and tell me (infer) about my neighbors and who they were. They did such a great job! They are really enjoying this strategy.
