Instructional Ideas

• Have kids create their own clue-packed story starters to share with the class
• Create your own story starter and model for the class how to use clues in the story to form inferences about what will happen next

Classroom Considerations

• The 11th in a series of 22 inference worksheets

Pros

• Kids must read closely to recognize the details that infer where Josh and his dad are headed
• Asking kids to illustrate the story also requires them to make inferences about what Josh and his dad will see

Cons

• No model is included
