How to make inferences

Read the excerpts and write your inferences in the box below. Think about . . . • Who the character might be (old, young, sporty, brainy etc) • What kind of person the character is (kind, thoughtful, nasty, selfish, etc) • How the character is feeling at that moment and why • Where and when this action is taking place

Tom clenched his fists until the knuckles were white. He sighed deeply, stood up and stormed toward the door without saying another word. He opened the door and slammed it behind him. His ten teammates sat staring at each other in stunned silence.

I think tom is a boy because it says ''Tom clenched his'' I think tom is strong because ''slammed the door''. I think tom is feeling angry because ''He opened the door and slammed it behind him''.  I think tom is inside because there was a door.

Hannah’s eyes grew as big as saucers and she began to clap her tiny hands together. As soon as the present was within reach, she grabbed it and began ripping off the paper. She was giggling and squealing with delight.

I think Hannah is a girl because it says ''she began to clap her tiny hands together'' I think Hannah is amazed because it says ''Hannah’s eyes grew as big'' and ''she began to clap'' I think Hannah is feeling happy because it says ''She was giggling and squealing with delight'' I think under a Christmas tree because it says ''she grabbed it and began ripping off the paper''

Fred hobbled toward the counter. He reached into his pocket and with a shaking hand pulled out his old leather wallet. As he got his money out, he noticed the picture of his wife Molly. All of a sudden his eyes became sad and after paying for his chocolate he quickly put his wallet back into his pocket. Thanking the shop assistant he left the shop and headed home for a lonely night in front of the television.

I think Fred is a boy because it says ''He reached into his pocket'' I think Fred is a nice person because he thanked the shop assistant before leaving. I think Fred sad because he lost his wife. I think Fred is in a shop because there was a shop assistant.

bye-bye!
