NOTE: This resource uses American English and is not editable.
On the first 30 slides (green) students are asked to make observations about the picture first, and then to make an inference. These would be good to use when you are introducing the concept.
The pictures are repeated on slides 31-60 (blue), On these slides, students must first make an inference and then support that inference with observations from the picture. These will work well for reinforcement and for students who are just about ready to move on to making inferences with text.
Use whichever set you prefer or mix and match to differentiate as needed. A sample answer key is also included.
Teacher Tip
Here’s what teachers are saying:
✏️ “This was a great way to “introduce” inferences to my students. The visuals make it clear for my small group readers who struggle with this skill in texts–makes it easier to segue into making inferences from their reading! Thank you!” -Sara L.
✏️ “A fabulous resource to support children to understand and practice their reading inferencing skills through pictures/ short paragraphs. This resource was great for differentiating learning in the classroom.” -Debra S.
✏️ “I had to switch my lesson approach regarding inferencing as we recently went to 100% distance learning, this is going to be helpful, thank you.” -Amy W.

This was a fun introduction activity to how to make interferences while reading. Will still use some of the photos for the rest of the semester as a warmup

The Making Inferences with Pictures resource on Google Slides and Easel, coupled with printables, is an absolute gem! The incorporation of visual elements into the learning process greatly enhances students’ comprehension and critical thinking. The flexibility to use Google Slides and Easel, along with the option for printable materials, accommodates diverse teaching styles. This resource has elevated my lessons, making learning both engaging and effective. A must-have for educators aiming to strengthen students’ inference skills. Exceptional and highly recommended!

This was great for getting my students into the idea of making an inference and being able to explain their thinking for what made them think that. I used these at the beginning of lessons to get them thinking before we did our read-alouds. Very useful.
