Over the last two weeks our fabulous Foundation and Grade One students have been learning about the reading strategy,‘Inferring’. We have learnt that making inferences is like being a reading detective! We can use what we already know, along with text clues, to help us better understand what we are reading. What a super skill to learn and what fun we have had making inferences whilst looking at pictures with our classmates and reading texts with our teachers. Well done Junior students! Here is an example of one of the pictures we have looked at and the questions we have been asked, to help us make inferences.

• How did the puddle get there?
• What season do you think it is?
• Where are they walking to?
• How do you think the dog is feeling?
• How is the boy feeling?
• Do you think the dog is the boy's pet?
• Why is the boy walking alone?
