Goals Review strategies to build inferencing Identify relevant TEKS Go over the implementation process Differentiate between Good, Better, & Best inferencing lessons Create inferencing lessons
Students with successful inferencing skills: • Have competent working memories • Have rich vocabularies • Are active readers who want to make sense of the text • Monitor comprehension & repair misunderstanding
Teachers develop inferencing skills by: • Modeling • Choosing appropriate texts • Building vocabulary • Looking at title & text structure • Making predictions
Teachers develop inferencing skills by: • Questioning character relationships, goals, & motivations • How do you know? • Why? • Generating, discussing, & clarifying prior knowledge • Making cross-curricular connections

I remember I put on my coat, To look perfectly grand at the dance, Yet I feel there is something I may have forgot— What is it? What is it? . . .
During the Lesson 3. Introduce vocabulary 4. Look at the title & text structure 5. Make predictions What will this poem be about? What experiences have you had that relate to this title? 6. Ask questions & discuss connections

During the Lesson 6. Ask questions & discuss connections - What is happening in this poem? - What did this poem make you think of? - Did you notice a pattern as I was reading? - Where do you notice rhyme & rhythm in this poem? STAAR Stems: The speaker in this poem is a person who… By the end of the poem, the reader realizes that the speaker… What is emphasized by the repetition of the words “I remember” in the poem?
What differences did you notice in the questioning? Where do we go from here to make a best lesson?
