The strategy of Inferring is used throughout the school to help develop critical thinking. This is one of the steps our school has undertaken to help students with making connections between their background knowledge, what the text says and how they can develop insight. Critical thinking involves synthesizing information, analyzing texts and determining point of view in their reading. See samples and how teachers use research to develop lessons in literacy.
