Does anyone have a great lesson on teaching inference to kindergarten/first
grade students.
I would suggest using the book Dear Juno by Soyung Pak. It is in our third
grade Treasures (McMillan/McGraw reading series) and also available through
Amazon. It is about an little boy that has a grandmother living in Korea.
His grandmother sends him a letter written in Korean which he can't read.
He asks his mother to read it to him, but she is too busy so he tries to
figure out what his grandmother wrote him. Luckily grandma drew a few
pictures and sent him a picture. Based on these clues he is able to figure
out the content of the letter. When his mother finally reads the letter to
him, his inferences are confirmed.
It is a very effective and transparent book to teach inferring.
