Making Inferences - Presentation
This presentation is a great resource for teachers to use when introducing the reading strategy of making inferences. The presentation is progressive and starts with inferring with visual texts, followed by short sentences and eventually paragraphs. It provides opportunities for explicit teaching and class discussions.
