Thinking Strategy for November: Inferencing

Inferring is the process of creating a personal meaning from text.  It involves a mental process of combining what is read with relevant background knowledge.  The reader's uniquite interpretation of text is the product of this blending. Click here for more information about inferencing. Please consider how you can support student inferencing in your content area as well as during reading in Discovery.
