     When you make inferences, you use what you already
     know and what you have read to figure out something
     about a story.


Read each set of sentences. Then answer
each question to make an inference.
1. The kittens met Mary at the door. Then they
   ran over to their food bowls and meowed loudly.

     What do the kittens want?

2. Ty stored his shorts, T-shirts, and bathing suit in a chest. He
   took out his sweaters and long pants.

     What time of year is it?

3. All the kids lined up. Max yelled, “Go!” Everyone ran fast. Amy
   won. “That’s my sister, Amy!” Max yelled.

     How does Max feel about his sister?

4. Janet sneezed. Then she coughed. Dad felt her forehead. “You
   feel hot. I think you better go back to bed.”
