  1. Inference Reading Between the Lines

  2. Going Beyond the Facts • Understanding and evaluating what you read or hear are important first steps in thinking. But you can’t stop there. You have to go beyond the facts and think about how the new information affects what you already know. You can do this by making inferences.

  3. Making Inferences • An inference is a logical guess you make by “reading between the lines” of new information. • You do this by combining what you learn with your prior knowledge. You make many inferences every day, probably without even knowing it. • For example, if you walk into your classroom and see an answer sheet on each desk, you might infer that you’re going to have a test.

  4. Learning to Make Inferences New Information: My sister came home from a date with a diamond ring on her finger. Prior Knowledge: My sister has been dating her boyfriend for three years. Women often get diamond rings when they are engaged. Inference: My sister is engaged.

  5. Practice Making Inferences • List the inferences you can make about the person who works in this room. New Information Prior Knowledge Inference
