Inferences are similar to predictions, but they’re not the same thing. They are both educated guesses based on context clues. However, a prediction is a guess about what will happen next. An inference is a guess about what is happening now.
For example, if your brother carries a bunch of schoolbooks into his room and shuts the door, you could infer that he’s studying right now. Because he is studying so hard, you might predict that he’s going to ace his test tomorrow.
"Kehlani ran down the stairs. She pulled on her heaviest coat and wrapped a big scarf around her neck. She zipped up her boots and pulled on a wool hat.
“Don’t forget your mittens!” her grandma called from the kitchen.
“Thanks, Grammy!” Kehlani said as she opened the front door and stepped outside."
What can you infer from the passage above?
The house is very large.
The weather is cold today.
Kehlani’s grandma knits mittens.
Kehlani doesn’t have any siblings.

After you’ve read, underlined, coded and taken notes, it’s time to write your summary. Like all writing, it’s a process. Your first draft probably won’t be perfect, so review and revise it. Make sure it’s the right length, that it’s organized in a logical way and that it answers the five W's. Be sure it’s written in complete sentences and in your own words.
