The document discusses inferencing, or making assumptions based on information provided and one's own experiences. It provides examples of inferring emotions and situations from pictures of characters. Readers are encouraged to consider clues in a text and use their knowledge to infer answers to questions about a story and draw conclusions, such as inferring that a woman who stumbled on the road in the rain had been in a car accident. Good readers use inferencing to fully understand and visualize what they are reading.
