Inferencing

Believe it or not, we make inferences all of the time in our life. As readers, we need to be "active" readers. What I mean by this is that we can't just read for pleasure, but also read for information hidden in the text. To be a truly "active" reader, you must:

1) Detect the author's hidden clues (words and phrases)
2) Use your background knowledge to make an inference (an educated guess) based off of the hidden clues.

The poster below will help you visualize exactly what I mean.
