Description
Turn your students into inference detectives! This Making Inferences Resource Bundle gives you everything you need to explicitly teach, model, and practice this essential reading comprehension skill.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Anchor Chart: A visually appealing reference poster that explains what an inference is, why it’s important, and how to use text clues + background knowledge to figure out what’s not directly stated.
- 20 Inference Task Cards: Each card features a short, high-interest story (5–6 sentences) packed with clues for students to interpret. The set includes an answer key and skill tags so you can easily sort by focus (feelings, setting, time of day, cause/effect, etc.).
- Inference Bookmarks: Student-friendly bookmarks with “I can tell because…” sentence starters and key question stems. Great for keeping strategies front and center during independent or guided reading.
