We do a lot of drawing conclusions when we create and read graphs. If we graph favorite bed times among third graders and compare it to a graph of favorite bed times for third graders that parents might choose, we then look at the data and draw our conclusions. We look at inferencing as our opportunity to read between the lines and figure things out when it isn't stated explicitly. Right now we are figuring out the themes of our read alouds and we are using our inferencing skills and our schema to draw our conclusions!
