One year, we focused on "determining importance." If you do it with non fiction, there are so many stragegies you can tap into--summarizing, text features and how they help, text structure (chronological, order of importance, etc).

In my opinion, the ability to infer leads to so many other skills...like predicting outcomes, analyzing characters, cause and effect...etc etc etc. Jennifer In a message dated 5/18/2010 10:54:25 P.M.
