Making inferences is central to reading comprehension. When readers make inferences they interpret ideas and draw appropriate conclusions by going beyond surface details to see other meanings that are implied. Inferring means taking what is known and making a guess. The document provides examples of situations and possible inferences, such as inferring someone with a cast on their leg broke it, or inferring there will be a cake at a birthday party.
