LC: To infer characters’ thoughts and feelings from their actions.
What is inference?
When we read stories, watch films or TV shows, look at pictures or play video games, we use lots of different skills to work out what is happening.
One of these skills is called inference.
Inferring is a bit like being a detective. You have to use the clues to work out the hidden information.
Imagine the main character in a story skips into a room, smiling brightly and waving to their friends. You could infer that the character is happy.
The text hasn’t told you the character is happy, but you can work it out from the clues given.
To help us infer when we are reading, it is useful to know how people look and behave when they are feeling different emotions.
Look at the pictures below. What clues does each pictures give us about how the character is feeling? What word would we use for the feeling?
How is she feeling? How is he feeling?
How do we know? How do we know?
Your turn...
