Study Notes

Questioning and Inferring

Questioning and inferring are reading strategies that encourage deeper comprehension of text.
These strategies encourage students to think beyond literal, text-based answers.
Through questioning, students can explore the text, identify gaps in their understanding, and formulate meaningful insights.
Inferring involves using contextual clues and prior knowledge to draw conclusions that are not explicitly stated in the text.
Inferring allows readers to make connections between different parts of a text, interpret meaning, and form their own understandings.
The example highlights how understanding a character's emotions ( unhappiness) can be inferred through their descriptions of negative experiences, even though their feelings are not explicitly stated.
