Description

Scaffold your instruction of comprehension strategies with stories for inferring practice! Use as models, group practice, or individual work to have students explain what is happening in each scenario and defend their thoughts with text evidence and background knowledge.

You get:

• 9 original scenarios with ample space for annotating
• 2 formats: letter size (8.5″ X 11″) and legal (8.5″ X 14″) for larger work / writing area

This is the perfect transition from a discussion of inferring into application into stories. It provides a bridge that helps students understand what their brains should be doing as they process text that is more showing than telling!

These are good for inferring practice but also make great discussion starters for the writing technique of showing, not telling. After working through these stories, have students write scenarios of their own for others to infer! This is much more difficult for our striving readers, so having models like these can boost writing skills, too!

Print several and laminate for use with wipe-off markers or project on a large screen!

Shop safely on this site or on Teachers Pay Teachers or Classful.
