Our free downloadable PDF Making Inferences lesson plan introduces students to how to make inferences from context clues and other textual evidence, along with what you already know, and why that is an important skill for them to have. At the end of the lesson, students will be able to identify the steps for making inferences when reading and will be able to make inferences based on text.

This lesson includes a very detailed, step-by-step lesson plan and outlines what parts of the lesson can be taught on which day. You can find these suggestions in the “Options for Lesson” section on the first Classroom Procedure page.
