Chapter 5 "When Kids Can't Read"

This chapter is about inference and how to help the students that are struggling with this part of reading. On page 69 the author outlines some wonderful tips on helping students with this problem. There are 6 of these things that you could do with students as a teacher.

I think that many times teachers and students get frustrated at the inference part of reading because it is so hard to explain. Inference is in the abstract and it is much easier to teach something concrete than abstract ideas. I think by using these activities however, it could really help students understand how to infer information from the text.
