Making Inferences

Inference is using observation and background to reach a logical conclusion. You probably practice inference every day.

How to go about making an inference:

• When reading, we make inferences through the author, the text and our response.
• The first step to reaching a conclusion of the intended meaning of a writing is to look at the author.
• You should spend time reading the author's biography.
• Look at his/her other works and see what they have in common.
• Also, look at the historical and cultural context of the writing.
• This will help give you a background of the writing that you can use in the next step of reading.
• After you have taken time to read about the author, you are ready to start to read the writing. Your goal as you read is to make conclusions.
• These conclusions are not stated, but you should read between the lines to understand what the author is trying to say.
