Making Inferences Reading Passages: Inferencing Worksheets and Activities

Item description

Do your students struggle with making inferences? 

These no-prep inference worksheets give students practice searching for clues to make inferences and creating riddles to be “on the other end” of inferencing. 

What an EASY way to make inferencing FUN for your students with these short stories for inferencing!

This inferencing product contains:

• Two instructional pages with examples and explanations (anchor charts) of making inferences
• Ten inferencing passages and related questions designed to show students how inferencing works (these pages also incorporate the inferencing equation with the puzzle pieces)
• Ten pages of riddles where students use inferencing skills to solve the riddle as well as space on each page to create their own riddle (using the same category as the riddle that they solved)

Allowing students to use a variety of inferencing activities increases their understanding of inferencing. For example, creating riddles helps students use inferencing skills at a deeper level.
