Introduction (5 minutes)

What is Inference?

Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to learn about making inferences while reading. Can anyone tell me what an inference is? (Pause for answers.)
An inference is when we use clues from a story or pictures to figure out something that isn't said directly. It's like being a detective!

Why is Inference Important?

Inference helps us understand stories better. When we read, it’s not just about the words on the page; we also need to use our brains to fill in the gaps!

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

How to Make Inferences

1. Look for Clues: When you read, notice the words and pictures.
2. Think About What You Know: Use your own experiences to help you understand.
3. Put It Together: Combine the clues and your knowledge to make an inference.

Example

Let’s look at a picture from a story. (Show a picture without giving details.)
What do you think is happening here? (Encourage responses.)
Now, let’s use our steps: What clues do you see? What do you know? What can we infer from this picture?
(Guide students to make an inference based on the clues.)

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

Inference Activity

1. Read Aloud: Choose a simple picture book and read it out loud to the class.
2. Ask Questions: After each page, ask:
   • What clues do we see?
   • What do you think will happen next?
   • Why do you think that?

Group Activity

• Divide the class into small groups and give each group a different picture from a book.
• Each group should discuss and write down their inferences using the graphic organizer.
• Groups share their inferences with the class.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

Draw and Infer

Now, I want you to think of your favorite character from a story. Draw a picture of them and write one inference about what they might be feeling or thinking in that moment.

Closing (5 minutes)

Sharing Inferences

Let's share our drawings! Who would like to share their picture and inference?
(Encourage students to share and support their peers.)

Recap

Great job today, everyone! We learned how to use clues from stories and our own knowledge to make inferences. Remember, every time you read, you can be a detective!

Homework

For homework, look at your favorite picture book at home and try to find two places where you can make an inference. Write them down and be ready to share them in class tomorrow.

Conclusion

Thank you for being such attentive listeners today! I can’t wait to hear all about your inferences tomorrow!
