I
am a librarian with Fort Worth ISD.
Therefore, I chose apps to enhance reading skills. Throughout the district student continually
score low in the objective of inferencing.
Making
Inferences from www.brainpop.com
Writers
often do not state the way a character feels explicitly. Instead, writers will
include details about how a character acts and readers must use these details
to make inferences about the character’s emotions. When you infer, you use
observations, prior knowledge and experiences, and details from the text to
make connections and come up with ideas.
I
found some interesting good inferring apps for students to use. They include:
If
… Then … Fun Deck: Students select the cards that the teacher has chosen. The students complete the statements to
enhance critical thinking and inferencing.
Robot
Rescue: In this app players race to
rescue Mega Robot. The rescue him, they
must answer questions correctly about Making Inferences.
I
like both apps.

Free Reading Apps:
Content: The content of these apps are reading
comprehension.
Pedagogy: For these apps, I’ll use Gagne’s nine events
of instructions. Then I’ll allow kids to
interact with the inferencing apps.
Technology: The technology for will enhance reading
comprehension skills.
