1. An Overview of Inferencing

Why Do We Teach Inferencing?

An overview of making inferences in a comic strip: what we are told, what we see, what we know results in what we infer.

Sources of information for inferencing include what I can read from the text, what I can see in the visuals, and what I know about the topic.

Emphasize “text” over visuals.

Reading Universe is made possible by generous support from Jim & Donna Barksdale; the Hastings/Quillin Fund, an advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation; the AFT; the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation; and three anonymous donors.
