Making an inference means figuring something out that isn't directly stated. You use clues from the text plus what you already know. For example, if a story says "She grabbed her umbrella and rushed outside," you can infer it might be raining. Good readers make inferences to understand deeper meanings in what they read!
Let's break this down step by step so it's easy to understand. Follow along with the examples, and don't worry if it takes some practice to get the hang of it!
Remember: Making mistakes is part of learning. If something is tricky, try again, look at the examples, or ask for help.
