🥧 Purpose and Benefits

Inferencing is a key skill in reading comprehension, social communication, and real-world problem solving. Many students—especially those with language delays, autism, or other learning challenges—struggle with answering “who, what, where” questions independently. This resource provides scaffolded practice so every student can work at their own level.

• For beginners (Level 1): Students choose from three picture options, supporting visual learners and reducing frustration.
• For advanced learners (Level 2): Students write their answers, applying deeper inferencing and expressive language skills.

Because both levels are included, you can easily differentiate within your classroom or therapy group.

This Thanksgiving Dinner themed set keeps lessons festive and engaging while targeting key academic and communication goals. Best of all, everything is designed for easy printing, prep, and storage—saving you valuable time.
