Boost Critical Thinking And Inference Skills

Students have fun while they practice reading between the lines to understand the subtleties of text. They make their way along a carnival path by making different kinds of inferences. Taking turns, students read short passages and then answer multiple-choice questions that require them to make inferences related to character traits, character feelings, setting, and causes of actions. Wild Guess Cards with short, open-ended passages ask students to make wild guesses instead of logical inferences. By making both logical inferences and wild guesses, students understand how context and background knowledge support inference-making skills. Self-checking.

• INCLUDES: 100 inference cards (Size: 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" each), 2 laminated game mats (Size: 9" by 12" each), 2 spinners (Size: 5" by 5" each), 4 pawns, 1 laminated task card (Size: 9" by 6"), Really Good Instructional Guide, and 1 hanging plastic bag (Size: 11" by 13-1/4").
