Inference Skills Made Easy and Fun!

| These little lovelies are showing one of the posters with some of the inferences they made. |
Anyway, I'm really excited about this . . . Oh, and let's not forget to mention that inferring is a Common Core Standard. Yep, that's right and it is a standard that continues all through elementary school.
K-5.RL.7
And to think, I used to have so much trouble teaching this skill to my kids. Now, they are inferring like pros!
Here's how I introduced my first lesson.
I shared this poster and read the story to the kids.
I then share some basic inferences with them. I say "I can infer that the knight will help the princess get an apple out of the tree."
Then, I tell the kids to turn and talk to their partners and see if they can come up with some inferences from the picture/story.
The kids share some of their ideas and I tweak them to make sure that they are making inferences, and not just looking at details in the picture. For example: A child might say "There is a red flag on the castle." Then I might add, "Yes, there is a red flag and it looks like it is moving. If the flag is moving, then the wind is probably blowing."
The next day, I break the kids up into groups of 2 or 3 and give them a picture and story to use to infer together. I gave them a worksheet that asks questions to help get the kids started on making their inferences.

Check out these rockin' kids inferring. The clips are only 10-15 seconds each. So check them out! You will be impressed. I am!
After we practiced inferring, I hung up a poster with blank lines so that the kids could write inferences if they thought of one.
Next week, I am going to put out these inference cards for the kids to use at stations. They have to match the pictures with the clue cards. I guess they could play a memory game too.
Have a thundering Thursday! If you would like to get your kids inferring like crazy, just click {here} or click the pics.
