Description
Making Inferences Reading Passages and Activities:
These making inferences activities include 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.
