Overview:
Reading between the lines means understanding something that is not explicitly stated. It involves making inferences based on clues in the text. Writers often imply things rather than state them directly, and good readers pick up on these subtle hints to grasp the deeper meaning.
For example, if a character in a story is described as clenching their fists and speaking through gritted teeth, the writer doesn’t say, “This character is angry,” but you can infer it from the description.
