‘HIDE and SEEK’  READING STRATEGIES – Inferential Reading Strategies

As readers begin to dig deeper into the implied or inferred ideas present in the texts they use ideas, skills and strategies that enable them to:

• To use facts (in text or images) to explore inferred ideas
• Form predictions or develop informed guesses
• Explore sequences, settings and hidden plot ideas
• Extend phonological awareness and develop vocabulary banks
• Use the understanding that reading is a two-way process to explore other connections texts might have.
