An inference is an idea or
conclusion that's drawn from
evidence reasoning.

An inference is an

educated guess.

 The text itself, does not contain

meaning. It is up to the reader to interpret
the meaning of the words, their usage and
structure in the text. The reader infers an
interpretation of the text through prior
knowledge, social conventions, shared
experience or shared values.
 Inferences are essential in both
written and spoken communication. A
single sentence may contain a variety of
assertions. Reading is "an active,
reflective, problem-solving process."
Readers do not simply read the words, but
ideas from a collection of assertions.
Examples:
1. You're about to enter a classroom. It's 8:57, and there is lots of chatter
coming from inside the classroom.

>You infer that there's a 9:00 class that hasn't started yet.
2. Harry's face turned red and he started to yell, balling his hands up into
shaking fists.

>From the evidence of his face, voice, and hands, we infer that he's really
angry about something, though we don't know what the reason is.
