For me The Raft would be the next step. It is not as transparent for
inferring as Dear Juno. In The Raft the question is what clues does the
author give that leads the reader think that the raft belongs to the
grandmother. The Raft was the anchor text that my students used when they
needed to be reminded about what inferring meant. It worked really well.

lesson
ideas for grade 5-6?

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.
