Making Connections

I think carefully about new information and use what I already know to make sensible inferences and draw conclusions. I can read and think “between the lines.”

I use my background knowledge to make good inferences.

With help, I sometimes use what I already know and what I’m learning to make inferences

I usually think about the exact information I am studying, and I do not make any inferences about it

Monitoring

I constantly make new inferences and change old ones if I need to when I get more information.

I can tell when my inferences are incorrect and I make new inferences based on what I know.

When I am reminded, I notice when my inferences are incorrect and make new ones.

I usually do not change my inferences and make new ones.
