Understanding Inference in Reading: Schema + Text Clues #143850 (License: Personal Use)

The image visually explains inference as a reading strategy where a child uses background knowledge (schema) and explicit information from the text (text clues) to deduce meaning not directly stated. Labeled arrows point to key components-“Schema,” “Text Clues,” and the resulting “Inferring”-with the equation “Schema + Text Clues = Inference” reinforcing the concept. Designed for elementary literacy instruction, it supports metacognitive awareness in comprehension.

Used in educational websites, teacher resource pages, or literacy curriculum materials to teach reading comprehension strategies; matches user intent for learning or teaching inference in K-5 classrooms.
