๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ฌ Creative Ways to Support Inferencing in Older Children ๐ฏ
Inferencing means understanding whatโs not directly said โ itโs the skill that turns โreadingโ into โthinking.โ ๐งฉโจ
For older children, inferencing builds critical thinking, empathy, and stronger comprehension โ and it can be fun too! ๐
๐ก Try these creative ideas at home or in therapy:
๐ฌ Movie Clips โ Pause and ask, โHow do you think they feel?โ or โWhat might happen next?โ ๐ฅ
๐ฐ Short News Stories โ Discuss whatโs implied vs. stated.
๐ผ๏ธ Mystery Pictures โ Show only part of an image and guess the rest.
๐ Story Starters โ Give a few clues and let them build the full story.
๐ฌ Everyday Conversations โ Ask, โWhat makes you think that?โ or โWhy did they say that?โ
Practicing inferencing helps kids connect clues, emotions, and logic โ one step closer to becoming thoughtful communicators. ๐ญ๐
