Teaching Inference to the Literal Thinker in the Elementary Grades - Fall 2025 - 35553
Many students who are concrete, literal thinkers find it challenging to grasp abstract concepts, especially when it comes to making inferences about characters’ thoughts, feelings, and motives. In this session, participants will explore effective, research-based strategies for explicitly teaching inference skills in ways that support literal thinkers. Practical tools and classroom examples will be shared to help move students from concrete understanding to more abstract, higher-level comprehension.
