Inferences PowerPoint Lesson with Practice Passages

Are you searching for a step-by-step PowerPoint that can be used to introduce the skill of making inferences to your students in a way that will grab their attention? You've come to the right place! This 48-slide PowerPoint provides an engaging lesson that teaches students how to make inferences as they read.

• After the four introduction slides, there are 16 example slides where characters "think aloud" via thought bubbles. These thought bubbles allow students to see exactly what a strong reader thinks about while reading which allows him/her to make quality inferences.

• The PowerPoint concludes with six test-prep passages. Students first read the passage, then they view the multiple-choice inference question. Another thought bubble appears before the correct answer is revealed.

PowerPoints filled with visuals are ideal for teaching new content to students because PowerPoints tend to be highly engaging and concepts can be easily broken down into understandable chunks of information. But let's face it... they are so time-consuming to create! Fortunately, now you have an option of using one that is already complete, kid-tested, and ready to go for you!

This file also includes a 5-page PowerPoint companion handout. Students will remain engaged when they write on their own handout as you advance through the PowerPoint. The companion handout is available in both printable format or digital format.
