Hereโ€™s what teachers are saying:

โœ๏ธI have had such a hard time finding inference activities for small groups or individual students…this is perfect! The students can discuss, they have to justify their reasoning, and their ability to make inferences is strengthened through this practice. Thank you!!!!” -Rebecca G.

โœ๏ธAbsolutely love these! Taught using a few each day when teaching inferences skill then used one or two occasionally to review as “bell” work as the kids entered my classroom each day. Interesting to see/hear what the kids inferred on some – more than one inference possible on some which encouraged debate using text details to support inference.” -Christina L.

โœ๏ธThe rigor of these cards is perfect for where my kiddos are right now. They “get” just enough on their own to feel successful, but there is certainly enough meat to really make most of my students think.” -Wendy L.

  1. Rebekah D.

    My students loved using these task cards. I use them during centers, or sometimes I put them around the room for them to find and answer just to get them up moving around more.

  2. shannon R.

    Task cards provide a fun and engaging way for students to practice a skill, and feel like they aren’t just reading and regurgitating information the same way every day.

  3. Jackie B.

    My students loved using the great resource as additional practice to reinforce inferencing skills during reading center rotations.

  4. Radha D.

    I used these for partner work. It brought up some good discussions about inferencing and evidence to support their answers.

  5. Julie D.

    I loved the short passages to practice inferencing. Since the passages were short, it made the practice not as daunting as some of my students feel when practicing inferencing.

  6. Leita C.

    I really liked this. I had a few students who needed this skill for IEP goals; I made it a station in my resource room and the students seemed to enjoy it. and – it helped my students meet those IEP goals ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. Mersedes S.

    Really, really helpful for my students. It helped them understand what inferences are and the questions weren’t so challenging that I had students quit lol. Thank you!

  8. Kendra K.

    I really like these for a quick daily practice when learning and reviewing inferencing. My students liked how short they were!

  9. Karen D.

    My students love getting out of their seats and using task cards. Inferring can be a difficult standard for students to understand. When you require your students to work with a partner and explain their thinking this is a great way to review.

  10. Madeline K.

    My students absolutely loved using this resource. I used it as a stations activity and it was very engaging and interactive for the students.
