In other words, we use clues to figure out what it means!
Sometimes, there is meaning hidden in our stories that we have to really take the time to stop and think about! We used a parody of the cartoon"Blues Clues" to solve reading mysteries as a class to help with Inferring. With our schema and the clues in the text..no book stands a chance for our reading detectives! Ask your reading detective how they "Stop and Think" about what they are reading. When doing your nightly reading or chapter with your student, have them stop and tell you what is happening in the story so far. They should include details that you would have to use the clues of the story to understand or "infer". This kind of detective work is just what good readers like to do!
