What is an inference?
Inferring is when a reader uses what they already know
and the clues from a text or the world around them
to help them figure our what the author is saying.
We did just that this week in Reader's Workshop.
We begin by using Mrs. Shelby's bag to practice our inferring skills.

The kids loved making inferences about
items from my bag and telling me why
they think those items are in my bag.
