FAQ

What is the difference between drawing a conclusion and making an inference?

An inference fills in information not stated directly; a conclusion is a reasoned judgment based on all available evidence — both require critical thinking beyond the literal text.

How do teachers scaffold inference-making for 2nd graders?

Sentence frames like 'The text says ___, so I think ___' or 'I know ___ from the text, which makes me think ___' help students structure their inferential thinking.

What types of texts work best for teaching inferences in 2nd grade?

Short stories with implied character feelings, wordless picture books, and passages where the author hints rather than states directly are all excellent for inference practice.
