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)

Great resource!
Jessica Nieves –
As a special education teacher, I often need to find alternative resources and use different examples/models to help my students. This is one of the few bundles that has a ton of different types of figurative language/literary devices beyond similes, metaphors, idioms, etc… My students were able to follow and complete them. They were able to be really creative and enjoyed the activities.

I found a mistake in the Making Inferences Task Cards. For question number two you wrote: What are two more word that can be included. It should read, What are two more words… Please fix this ASAP as I would like to use it with my students and cannot because of the grammar mistake.
