These Making Inferences and Drawing Conclusions Task Cards for students in grades 8-11 come with an array of critical reading skills:
- Analyzing character tone and attitude.
- Predicting past and future events using textual evidence.
- Identifying location through textual descriptions.
- Drawing conclusions based on visuals.
- Making connections between different words and text elements.
✅ Students will hone their critical reading skills by delving into a diverse range of texts, encouraging them to read between the lines and uncover what isn’t explicitly stated. These inferencing activities provide ample practice in pulling out specific textual evidence, fostering a deep understanding of the text. Making inferences with these task cards gives students the most impactful learning experience.
✅ The tasks cards are leveled, each marked with a specific color that indicates its degree of difficulty. This unique feature allows for easy differentiation, catering to students at various proficiency levels. Beginners can start with the “simpler” inferencing tasks and work their way up, while those seeking a challenge can dive right into the more “difficult” inferencing activities.
✅ This resource is incredible versatile and offers both digital Google Slides® access and printable pages, making it adaptable to various learning environments and preferences. Not only will you get tasks cards with practice activities; you’ll also get the same questions on answer sheets, so you’re not bound to only use the task cards.
✅ The task cards offer a range of inferencing activities giving your students hands on experience. With such variety in activities, your students will get lots of practice making inferences and learning to draw more nuanced conclusions.
- Guessing who wrote specific statements.
- Predicting what happens after the writing.
- Inferring what occurred immediately before the writing.
- Forming opinions about elements in pictures.
- Linking prior knowledge with new insights from reading.
