Classroom Strategies

By learning that the answers to some questions are "Right There" in the text, that some answers require a reader to "Think and Search," and that some answers can only be answered "On My Own," students recognize that they must first consider the question before developing an answer.See Question-Answer Relationship strategy > Into the Book has an interactive activity that helps young children learn about inferring. In the interactive, students try to infer meaning in letters from virtual pen pals. They try to answer two questions: "WHERE is your pen pal? " Riddles are one way to practice inferential thinking skills because successful readers make guesses based on what they read and what they already know. BrainPop offers several activities for teaching inference, and they offer resources for teachers and parents.See inference activities > Math Science Social Studies.
