Make Inferences To make an accurate inference, a reader must combine his/her own background knowledge with the clues provided in the text by the author. A reader should understand that there is often more than one possible inference that can be made. When a reader makes an inference, he/she can enhance comprehension. For example, a reader can deepen his/her understanding of a character and cause and effect as well make predictions. Draw Conclusions Drawing a conclusion is to come to a reasonable judgment or opinion based on reasoning and text evidence.
