INFERENCING • Inferencing is a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.

INFERENCING: USING A PART OF SPEECH AS A CLUE • Strategy: When you come to an unfamiliar word, think about the “job” the word has in the sentence. Is it a noun, verb, adjective, adverb? Use your knowledge of the job of the word to help you figure out what the word might mean.

USE PART OF THE SPEECH AS A CLUE • “Nutrients” – page 5 • “Edible” – page 14 -What job does that word have in this sentence? (Is it an action or describing word? ) -What’s the part of speech? Is it a person, place, or thing? -Now that you know the job of the word, what might it mean? *Job and meaning

INFERENCING: LOOK TO TEXT FEATURES • Strategy: Check the features on the page, in the section, and across the book. Find information that teaches you about the word. Use the sentences around the word. Go back to the sentence and try to use the definition in context.

INFERENCING: LOOK TO TEXT FEATURES • “Nutrients” – page 5 • “Edible” – page 14 - Are there any features here that would help? - Is it bold? If so, check the glossary. - Based on the picture (or sidebar or map or so on), what might the word mean? - Look across the entire section or page. - Go back and use the definition in a sentence. - You used the picture and the glossary – I think you understand the word now.
