Other activities about making inferences

 

Here are some quick activities you could use in your classroom to help your students develop their ability to make inferences.

Introduction to inferences video

 

Here is a video about what inferences are and how we use them in reading. You could watch this with your students, pause it during the examples and ask your students to make inferences about the text displayed on the screen. 

'What Am I' poems

 

  • Read the What Am I? poems.

  • Students could guess what the poems are about by making inferences about the text.

  • Students could discuss the poems in groups and substantiate their guesses with evidence from the text, remembering that inferences are not random guesses, but are based on what is stated in the text.

  • The poems can be accessed here and come from the Teachers Pay Teachers website.
