What educators are saying

My students have been working on inferring and this was a great way to practice using background knowledge with text clues.
I am a Canadian teacher and used this for inferencing so we have different standards but really like these tasks for students.

Here’s what teachers are saying:

✏️ "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.

✏️ "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.

✏️ "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.
