Infer & Explain BOOM Cards™️: Locker Mystery

Who said making inferences has to be boring? This no prep, highly engaging set of inferencing BOOM Cards™️ helps students infer and explain information from clues within narrative texts during distance learning and in-person lessons!

As students use clues to figure out who has each locker in the story, they will also build important language skills including oral expression, deductive reasoning, problem-solving, comparing and contrasting, answering WH questions and critical thinking.
