Instructional Ideas

• Add to a reading assessment after discussing context clues and inferences
• Have class members write their own short passages, and encourage their peers to make inferences about what each person in the passage is talking about
• Helpful for a unit on informational text

Classroom Considerations

• Each activity is on its own page, making it easy to hand out in different lessons or as different versions during an assessment
• Font is a little small, which may make it hard for some learners to read 

Pros

• Provides an answer key for simple assessment
• Contains both fictional and informational text in the passage to help kids with their reading comprehension

Cons

• None
