🔍 Teach inference step-by-step with this low-prep bundle that includes a clear teacher mini-lesson, a student-friendly anchor chart, and scaffolded inference worksheets. Designed for struggling readers, SPED, and foundational ELA students, this resource builds inference skills in a structured, Science of Reading–aligned way.

📘 Struggling readers often guess instead of infer — because inference is rarely taught explicitly.

This Inference Skills Bundle provides everything you need to teach, model, practice, and reinforce inference skills using clear language, predictable routines, and developmentally appropriate scaffolding.

Perfect for small groups, intervention, SPED, and upper-elementary or middle school students reading below grade level, this bundle removes the mystery from inference and replaces it with a repeatable process students can actually use.
