Learn the idea

Read once for the story. Read again to find who, where and why. An inference is an idea you work out from clues in the text.

Worked example

Mina planted a bean in a pot. She put it near a sunny window and watered it. On Friday, a green shoot appeared. Mina smiled and drew the shoot in her notebook.

  1. Where did Mina put the pot? Near a sunny window. The second sentence tells us.
  2. Why might Mina have smiled? She was pleased that her bean was growing. This is an inference supported by the new shoot.
