Inference means a conclusion or judgment using the facts at hand to make the most likely explanation. What clues from the text can I put together about the characters/problem? Determine the facts presented in the text. What background knowledge helps me understand this? Use past experiences to draw conclusions about the unstated meaning of events or personality traits. What does the author not state? Become aware of word or phrase clues the author provides so the reader becomes aware of information that wasn't directly presented. Does my inference make sense? How do I know? Decide if there is other relevant or new information to support or change the inference.
