Author’s write for many reasons. When we pay attention to why the writer is choosing to write a poem or essay, that is called author's purpose. We know the three primary reasons are to persuade, inform and entertain. As a reader, you will bring with you what you already know. This is known as prior knowledge. We use what we already know to draw conclusions that are not specifically stated in the text and that is called making inferences. When we make a guess using clues about what might come next, that is known as predicting. So using what we already know and using context clues help us fully understand a text much more.
