I begin by discussing real life examples that they would understand. One
that I use is I tell if they come into the classroom and saw me blowing my
nose, coughing, sneezing, and looking really down....they would infer that
I'm sick. No one had to tell them I was sick, they figured it out on their
own from the clues I gave combined with what they know about what a cold
looks and sounds like. From there I begin to provide examples in
literature, especially wordless picture books.

Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] inferences
We have been having some discussions about inferring at my school. Many of
our teachers are approaching it in different ways. I was wondering how
some of you would define/explain inferences to 3 - 5 graders?
Thanks -
