MAKING INFERENCES
Experienced and skilled readers “read between the lines”, i.e. they make inferences about what the meaning could be, but which does not necessarily appear directly in the text. They think about
what the author might mean
what might be implied through the author’s choice of words expressions
choice of language
visual text.
This strategy of making inferences whilst reading and testing these against information which might follow keeps the reader involved in the reading process and picturing the events in their imagination.

MAKING CONNECTIONS
Making connections is a cognitive strategy which enables readers to learn from and grow through the new information that comes across.
Readers who make connections while they read, bring the super cial words and letters to life. The connections readers make bind the new information with individual past experiences and prior knowledge, thereby bringing about a richer meaning.
In literature readers differentiate mainly between three types of connections:
text-to-self text-to-text Text-to-world.
