Wordless picture books, like Good Dog, Carl are great to use! Carol

I would suggest using the book Dear Juno by Soyung Pak. It is in our third grade Treasures (McMillan/McGraw reading series) and also available through Amazon. It is about an little boy that has a grandmother living in Korea. His grandmother sends him a letter written in Korean which he can't read. He asks his mother to read it to him, but she is too busy so he tries to figure out what his grandmother wrote him. Luckily grandma drew a few pictures and sent him a picture. Based on these clues he is able to figure out the content of the letter. When his mother finally reads the letter to him, his inferences are confirmed. It is a very effective and transparent book to teach inferring.
