Name the term; a comprehension strategy that encourages reader interaction with text through student questioning.

  1. Inferencing

  2. InQuest

  3. Predicting

  4. Summarizing

The correct answer is: Inferencing

Inferencing is the correct answer because it involves readers actively engaging with the text by asking questions to better understand the material. When readers make inferences, they use background knowledge and clues from the text to draw conclusions and make predictions about the content. This process encourages critical thinking and helps students make connections between what they already know and what they are reading. Predicting, summarizing, and InQuest do not specifically involve engaging with text through questioning like inferencing does.
