Description
Making Inferences Reading Passages and Activities:
These making inferences and activities contain reading passages and inferencing riddles for 3rd-5th grade.
These no-prep, print-and-go activities give students practice searching for clues to make inferences. Creating riddles to be “on the other end” of inferencing takes students to a deeper level.
This inferencing product contains:
- Two instructional pages with examples and explanations (anchor charts) of making inferences
- Ten worksheets with 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)
Creating riddles helps students use inferencing skills at a deeper level.
NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!
This product includes a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of the packet.
This file contains 31 pages + Google Slides.

My students enjoyed both activities! My concern with accuracy comes with the description of the airplane. It said two wheels, and my students were associating the landing gear at the front as a third wheel. I didn’t know what your thoughts were. Thank you for great activities!

It is a great resource. For distance learning, I had to take screen shots and then copy it over to google slides so that my students were able to type in the document and share it with me. This is a great resource when we are in school and working face to face with students.
