🔍 What is Inferencing?

Inferencing is like being a reading detective! We use clues from pictures and words to understand things that are not directly told to us. We look at facial expressions, body language, and other details to work out what characters are thinking or feeling.

WALT: Use inference skills to understand meanings and emotions in stories.

Success Criteria:

✓ I can use clues from pictures to infer what characters are feeling

✓ I can explain my ideas using examples

✓ I can ask questions to help me understand better
