I loved using this for a lesson on inferences. I would recommend it.

This resource was incredibly helpful for teaching inference skills in a clear and engaging way! The activities do a great job of guiding students to think beyond the text while also requiring them to support their thinking with accurate quotes.
I really appreciated how well-structured everything was—students were able to follow along independently, and it made modeling and guided practice so much easier. The emphasis on using text evidence helped strengthen both their comprehension and writing skills.
My students were actively engaged and had meaningful discussions while working through these activities. I noticed a big improvement in their ability to make inferences and back them up with proof from the text.
This is a must-have resource for upper elementary classrooms—highly recommend!
