 Drawing Conclusions and Making Inferences


 * Inference (drawing conclusions)** is being able to figure something out by looking at the clues, and by using prior knowledge (things your child already knows about whether it is from reading the book, or from life experience.) Inferencing and drawing conclusions are similiar.

For example, if your child was reading a book, and it said that the character "stepped outside and opened up her umbrella," the INFERENCE would be that it was raining outside. Even if they never mentioned rain in the book, the reader could figure it out simply by knowing why a person uses an umbrella.
