10 + 1 Picture Books to Teach Inference. I remember I was told to teach inference as a 4th grade teacher, it was one of the many skills students were supposed to develop in literacy, and I was astickler for following the rules. So the first year I sat with my lesson plans, every word penciled out and guided my studenst through the lesson. We inferred because the book told us to. When a child asked me why they were learning this, I answered, “Because you will need it next year.” That successfully quieted the child, and I felt satisfied, I had been able to give them a reason for what we were doing and so they did it. Yet, the act of inferring is so much bigger than “next year.” I have to start with one of my favorites and the one I chose to start this year’s lessons with; I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen. And I have to highlight the kind of sequel This Is Not My Hat also by Jon Klassen.
Boats for Papa is a new picture book by Jessixa Bagley that I immediately fell in love with. No, David! Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne.
