Making Inferences: Reading and Listening Between the Lines – An inference is a smart guess based on clues in a text plus what you already know. Good readers and listeners infer people's feelings and mood, a speaker's or writer's intent and purpose, their tone and attitude, the meaning of new words from context, and information the text leaves out. Every inference must be supported by evidence.

Communication Skills: How to Share Meaning Clearly and Kindly – Communication is sharing meaning between people. A sender encodes an idea into a message, sends it through a channel, and a receiver decodes it and gives feedback. Barriers such as noise, hard words, strong emotions and cultural differences can block or bend the message. We send meaning with words (verbal), with face, eyes, gestures, posture and tone (non-verbal), and with pictures (visual). Active listening — attention, patience, questions and paraphrasing — proves the message arrived. Good communicators adapt to context: formal or informal, spoken or written, and use polite requests, kind refusals, sincere apologies and assertive (not aggressive or passive) language.
