Making Inferences for Kids | What is an inference? | Inference and reading comprehension practice

What is an inference? Making an inference simply means to use what you already know to make a guess about something that you don’t know. It is a very important reading comprehension skill and throughout this video we help your kids and students practice making inferences.

There are 4 main steps to making inferences that we cover in this video. They are:
1. Read the text.
2. Look for clues or important facts and details.
3. Combine those details with things that you already know.
4. Make inferences about what you are reading.

We hope this video is helpful as you teach your kids about inferences and reading comprehension overall. If you are looking for more inferences resources?
