THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAKING INFERENCES & PREDICTIONS
Inferring is kind of like the big umbrella and predicting fits neatly under it. But what’s the difference between them?
While it is subtle, I like to start with predicting because it’s a little more concrete. Predicting is when you use your schema + clues the author gives you to make an “educated” guess. A prediction can usually be confirmed or denied through further reading. {Example: I predict that the family will adopt the dog. I turn the pages and thet do. My prediction was confirmed.}
Making inferences also requires your schema + clues the author gives you to make a guess, but inferences are not clearly confirmed or denied through reading. {Example: I think that Alexander just woke up in a bad mood and is looking for all the bad things that could go wrong.} https://thisreadingmama.com/books-making-inferences-predictions/
types of inferential questions
There are 6 basic types of inferential questions that you can ask about any well-composed picture:
#1 INTERNAL RESPONSE – EMOTIONAL STATES
Make a smart guess about how somebody feels. Ask how people or characters feel while looking at pictures or reading stories. What makes you think that they feel that way? Bonus points if you move beyond “happy” and “sad!”
#2 INTERNAL RESPONSE – MENTAL STATES
Make a smart guess about what somebody is thinking. Ask what the people or characters might be thinking in a picture or during specific parts of a story. Again, discuss what evidence you have found that led you to that conclusion.
#3 GOALS
Make a smart guess about what a character wants/their intentions. What do they want? How can you tell?
#4 PROBLEM SOLVING
Make a smart guess about how a character will solve a problem. How will they fix that? This skill leads fantastically into size of the problem activities and solving problems in the real world! Photographs are perfect to work on social inferences in speech therapy.
#5 CAUSAL
Make a smart guess about why something is happening or happened. Why did his ice cream melt? How do you know?
#6 PREDICTIVE
Make a smart guess about what might happen in the future. What is going to happen next? If it’s a crazy, off-the-wall prediction, don’t give them a pass and say, “Well, I guess that could happen.” It needs to be a logical prediction.
