Making inferences is a critical component of reading comprehension that helps students to read and understand complex texts. To make an inference, students will need to combine what they already know about a topic with evidence from the text. In this graphic organizer, students will choose a direct quotation from a text and make an inference, explaining their reasoning for making the inference. Designed to be used with all types of texts, this worksheet is a helpful tool for students to boost their critical thinking and reading comprehension skills.
