    This resource was wonderful for whole group instruction when projected on the whiteboard. Staff was able to model re-reading, locating key words from the question to find the answers, and students worked to explain where and why they found information to support their inference. Inferring is very challenging for my special needs learners, but this resource was so fun and engaging that no one found the activity tedious or frustrating.

  74. 3rd Grade’s uh Charm –

    I had my students work on this activity in the attempt to create a fun Halloween themed day and much to my satisfaction it worked. I had my students working in teams by placing them in google meet break out rooms and presented it as a challenge. Whatever team was the first to solve and come back to the main call were the winners. Every time I popped in and out of the groups it was clear the the kids were into the activity, it was a good feeling to hear them citing text to defend their answers. Thank you for creating this activity!

  83. Hannah F. –

    This was a fun way to introduce my students to inferencing at the beginning of the year. When they were introduced to it in this fun format and realized that inferring is a lot like looking for clues like a detective, they grasped the concept much easier.

  84. Sandra M. –

    This lesson was excellent as a sub needed to start the lesson and the students were engaged and talking about their answers! I can not wait to use it again next year!
