It explains that proficient readers can draw conclusions about information that is implied but not directly stated by using clues and reading between the lines, which is called inferring. One way students can infer word meanings is through context clues within the text, such as making educated guesses using hints before and after unknown words. Teachers can ask questions during guided reading to help students uncover implied meanings, such as asking what parts of the text help with inferences. In summary, making inferences involves digging deep to find the important implied meanings and how they influence understanding.

    Implied Meaning

    Proficient readers understand that writers often tell more than they actually say with words. They
    give you hints or clues that allow you to draw conclusions from information that is implied.
    Using these clues to read between the lines and reach a deeper understanding of the message
    is called inferring. Some meanings are meant to be implied that is not stated clearly but they
    are hinted at. When meanings are implied, you have to infer them.

    Inferring with context clues

    One way students can infer a word meaning is from context clues within the text. Students have
    to learn how to work out meanings from these clues. Theres several ways to do this.

    1. They can simply make an educated guess using the hints given before the unknown word
    and the sentences that follow the word.
    2. Asking questions is another way to unravel these clues.
    Guided reading questions

    Here are a few questions teachers can ask during guided reading sessions to help students
    uncover the meaning of unknown words. During the guided reading session, the teacher should
    have these question stems available when students find a word they dont know the meaning of.

    1. What do you think the word means?


    2. What part of the text helps you make this inference?
    3. Where can you find other clues to help you understand?
    4. If you substitute what you think is a similar word, would the sentence still make sense?

    In summary, making inferences is really about digging deep to find the important meaning of the
    message. What is important to understanding the message of a story, why is it important, how
    can one meaning influence what will happen next.

    Context Clues

    Unfamiliar words may come in any written piece. The meanings may be guessed at and most of
    the times the context determines the meaning. The strategies for context clues may include:

    a. Restatement
    b. Cause and effect
    c. Use examples
    d. Make prediction

    Directions: Read each sentence and determine the meaning of the word written in boldface.

    acknowledged truth that popular girls like her didnt go with unpopular guys like him.
