Last week we learned the KIS strategy for making an inference. ( This is not a kiss and tell strategy!) An inference has to be made when the information is not stated directly in the text. Many readers are hoping to go back into the text and find the answer righ there. Most of the higher level reading strategies require the student to make an inference.
The KIS strategy is this... The K stands for Key words in the text. As the student is reading, they should underline Key words that are important to the text. These are the words that will help the child make an inference later. The I stands for the Inference. What educated guess can they make about the text? Finally, the S stands for Support. The inference that the student makes should be able to be supported through the Key words in the text. We will continue with this strategy this week.
