MAKING INFERENCES WORKSHEETS ACTIVITIES:
These inferencing activities contain passages and inferencing riddles for 3rd-5th grade. The no-prep worksheets give students practice searching for clues to make inferences and creating riddles to be “on the other end” of inferencing.
This making inferences activity contains the following:
- 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 more deeply.
MAKING INFERENCES TASK CARDS ACTIVITIES:
This inferencing activity includes the following:
- 34 making inferences task cards
- Two instructional pages with examples and explanations of making inferences (anchor charts)
- Answer sheets
- Answer keys
Half of the inference task cards contain passages, and the other half includes keyword lists that require students to make inferences about the event or place (and add two keywords to the list of inferences). Adding keywords encourages students to use inferencing skills more deeply.
MAKING INFERENCES WITH PICTURES:
This making-inferences activity uses clip art pictures to help students infer. These making inferences worksheets contain:
- Two instructional pages with examples and explanations of making inferences
- 16 ready-to-use (no prep) worksheets with black and white clip art pictures
- Suggestions for use with the colored pictures
- Eight pages of color-version pictures (that match the printable pictures with two on each page)

I really liked using this resource with my upper elementary ELLs. The option for pictures to practice the skill was nice for my low readers, but I found it easier to explain and have them find supporting evidence with the task cards.

I love the Daily Figurative Language! I made it into smaller packets for my students and we focus on one aspect of figurative language each week. They have started saying things such as, “There was a lot of metaphors in that video!” and/or “That was an idiom!” We are loving our figurative language unit in 5th grade! 🙂
