Description
This deck gives students practice making inferences using short, relatable stories. Each of the 10 stories is followed by 3 inferencing questions that ask students to read between the lines, thinking about what's happening, how characters feel, and why they're doing what they're doing. Stories cover everyday situations like birthday parties, doctor visits, bad days at school, and more. Questions are open-ended enough to spark discussion but focused enough to target the skill directly. Great for small groups, individual therapy sessions, or independent practice. Works well for students who are working on drawing conclusions, identifying emotions in context, and using context clues to understand what they read or hear. Skills targeted: inferencing, context clues, perspective-taking, reading comprehension Grades/Ages: approximately grades 2–5 / ages 7–11 Sonnet 4.6 I hope this helpful to you -Allison
