Description
Help students strengthen inferencing skills with this Inferencing deck. Designed for speech therapy and language intervention, this interactive resource teaches students to use contextual clues to determine where, when, and under what circumstances an event is taking place. Built-in scaffolding supports comprehension, reasoning, and evidence-based responses. Activities include: Teaching Section: Introduces a simple, repeatable 3-step thinking process for making inferences. Picture-Based Clue Identification: Students examine pictures, identify relevant clues, and double-check them using up to four options. Setting and Circumstances Inferencing Practice: Students read short scenarios with key clues highlighted in bold and determine what can be inferred. Optional pictures and an optional four-choice answer bank provide flexible levels of support. Ideal for speech-language pathologists and educators working on receptive language, reading comprehension, and inferencing skills with students who benefit from explicit instruction and differentiated practice.
