Strengthen reading comprehension and critical thinking skills with this Drawing Inferences from a Text and Quoting Accurately resource.
Designed for upper elementary students, this engaging, hands-on lesson helps students learn how to draw logical inferences and support their ideas with text evidence—a key skill in understanding both fiction and nonfiction texts.
Students practice working backward from an inference to build a story or scenario that could support it, then test their thinking in pairs or groups. This approach encourages close reading, deep analysis, and collaborative learning—all while making inference practice meaningful and fun.
What’s Included:
Perfect for whole-group instruction, literacy centers, or reading intervention, this resource helps students gain confidence in using text clues to support their thinking—an essential ELA standard across grade levels.

I used this resource with my 5th graders and for a job interview. It was amazing to take the twist and have students come up with the details to get the idea of inferencing. This was such a fun activity AND I got the job! Thank you so much Brown Bag Teacher – your resources are ALWAYS quality.

This is a great resource for working on a difficult skill area. I like the way things are broken down for reference. If you are working on inferences, you will definitely want to purchase this. You will find that it is easy to use and addresses the skill in an effective way. My students enjoy this resource.
