Inferring.

Students learned a new strategy today.  Inferring means to use schema and clues or evidence in the text/ picture to explain or understand what is happening.  Students played a game called "Guess That Folktale" to practice using the language associated with this strategy.

Example:

picture showed a glass slipper

Student: "My guess is Cinderella because she loses a glass slipper and a prince tries to find the person it belongs to."

Encourage your child to use clues and text evidence when talking about what they read.
Thank you!
