making inferences/

drawing conclusions
Students with language difficulties struggle to make inferences and draw conclusions when faced
with text. Teach them that these skills are actually things that they do everyday, whether it be eavesdropping
on a big sister or listening in on mom’s phone conversation. Help them master the art of making inferences and
drawing conclusions exclusive of text- then they can grow from there! Take your cell phone out during language
therapy and role play (or have them role play) the phone conversations
below. I’ll bet they can make inferences! © 2012 to present Mia McDaniel
