DRAWING CONCLUSIONS Drawing conclusions refers to information that is implied or inferred. This means that the information is never clearly stated. When readers draw conclusions they go beyond the surface details. When the meanings of words are not stated clearly in the context of the text, they may be implied - that is, suggested or hinted at. A conclusion is a decision that readers make after thinking about the information in a text. Since a writer doesn’t always state all of his or her ideas, readers often have to look for clues to understand the whole passage, paragraph, or story. Readers must put together the clues that the writer provides and then draw the best conclusions they can to understand the text. A conclusion should make sense.

For example, a student with hearing loss in the right ear might need more help in school because the right ear is critical to learning situations.
