Does anyone have inferencing activities?

Thanks

I'm a third grade teaching and need help in motivating my students to learn about inferences and drawing conclusions. Please help me.

There are some task cards that can be used for this. Check Unseen's list and the 2010 list of everyone's task cards.

One of the ways that I taught inference the best is with mysteries. Students were detectives all the time in my class. We looked for clues (not right there) to help us solve what the author was leading us to believe, as well as math stories. Some resources that I have used include:

Cam Jansen Books
Encyclopedia Brown
FCRR (Florida Center for Reading Research) Centers
CTP- Posters for being math and reading detectives
High Interest Low Level mysteries (could be used in a listening center, as well)

And many more.

Hope this helps,

Amy

Thank you for your post about inferences. I'm going to try using the poems this year to teach inferences.
