Inferencing with Pictures Activity
Use this engaging Inferencing with Pictures Activity to develop the inferential comprehension skills of your younger students in a fun and highly visual way.
This resource uses carefully selected images to encourage students to look beyond what they can see and think more deeply about what might be happening. Each slide includes an accompanying set of questions designed to guide students in making inferences, drawing conclusions, and supporting their ideas with evidence from the image.
Students will learn that good readers don’t just see — they think, question, and infer.
