Teaching Resources 15 1/2 ways-to-personalize-learning Teaching Tip of the Week Teaching Kids How to Make Inferences (Teaching Tip #85)In this Teaching Tip I provide a link to a short YouTube video. In the video I present a brief chant, along with a corresponding set of hand movements, to help children understand what it means to make an inference when they are reading. By repeating the chant and doing these movements for just a minute or two per day for a few days, kids will remember that when making an inference, they need to combine a piece of information from the text with their own knowledge. Give this idea a try in class with your students or at home with your children.
