I love how simple this was to just put up on the smart board and teach along with. The topic of inferences can be a tricky one to teach and this resource changed that. My students were engaged in the learning and having fun!

This is a strong elementary resource that allows for meaningful differentiation. It works well for students with diverse learning needs, including SPED and ELL populations. The structure makes it easy to scaffold instruction, provide accommodations, and adapt activities for various settings. A very practical and versatile resource. Thank you for the extra blank slides.
