Lesson 2: Making Inferences Grades K-3

The use of supportive details and illustrations to make inferences

Making an inference is also known as reading between the lines. When you use clues from a story to make an assumption or educated guess, you are making an inference. A reader can make inferences based on the story or from the pictures in the story.

What inferences can you draw from the final page of the story, Casey and Bella Go to New York City and Casey and Bella Go to Hollywood?

How do Jane and Jeff know that Casey and Bella snuck out? Did they leave any clues?
