⭐️ Alexis K. said, "I seriously love everything about this bundle. There's a PowerPoint that explicitly teaches the skill, which is engaging and easy to follow for the students. There are task cards to practice after the initial lesson, and then there's even a craftivity that allows my more hands-on learners to get practice with the skill. This resource adheres to all types of learners. I am using this every year!"

⭐️ Amy C. said, "I use this resource when reviewing inferences. This bundle is wonderful; I use it yearly. I love Deb Hanson's products! You will not regret purchasing any of her resources!"

⭐️ Allison H. said, "Another wonderful resource from Deb. The activities in this bundle help to make inferencing less abstract and still provide a great amount of rigor."

⭐️ Kimberley H. said, "Best thing since sliced bread! Seriously! It made teaching inferencing so easy and fun! I love that there is a game so my kids can continue practicing it... I love the PowerPoint companion... I could go on and on about how this is the best. In fact, one of my boys today said, "you know this stuff is actually easy". He had no understanding of it before!"
