Description
Students will make inferences and support them using text evidence in an informational text. This includes referring to details and quoting accurately from a text when drawing inferences and supporting them (RI.4.1/RI.5.1).
These reading comprehension worksheets have a mini-lesson on inferencing (or drawing conclusions) at the top, followed by a non-fiction passage and several questions. Tips are included next to some commonly asked inference questions to mentor students on how to best answer them. Use as test prep, or to teach and practice the fundamentals of making inferences-- a key reading comprehension skill.
