Making Inferences Song - Inference

Created by

Gerald Allsman

This an original audio recording about making inferences. This song could be used in conjunction with any lesson about the skill of making inferences. I've used it in the past after an introduction to inferences. My advice is to parse the song into phrases and ask the class to examine their meaning. Then use quotes from the song when students are attempting the skill. Having taught first grade for nearly a decade, I've realized the power of music and its impact on children. It encourages
