Drawing Conclusions Task Cards – Inference Reading Skills Practice

Description

These 32 short story drawing conclusions task cards are a great way to practice inference, which can be one of the trickier reading strategies. The multiple-choice format makes them ideal for test prep. Students can use these cards individually at a center or they could also test each other in pairs. Another option is to use the cards with the whole class for the game SCOOT. A student answer sheet is included, as well as an answer key so students can self-correct. If you want to add an extra challenge, I have also included a “Challenge Card” which asks students to explain their reasoning for each card.

Black line versions of the cards are also included for printing on colored paper.
