It’s “a good day” to make inferences: Helping emergent and reluctant readers.

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A skilled reader can understand and connect to relationships that are not explicitly stated in text. The process of making inferences can be divided into two categories: text and prior-knowledge-based. This paper offers examples of inference questions using the picture book, “It’s a Good Day” by Kevin Henkes, that teachers can use during shared book readings with emergent and reluctant readers.
