Inferences Lesson
Objective: Students will be able to make observations and form inferences from the text, The
Tale of Peter Rabbit.
TEKS: 6.F: The student is expected to make inferences and use evidence to support
understanding.
Materials: Peter Rabbit book, items for pre-lesson in bag, inference worksheets, Fountas and
Pinnell Prompting Guide
Pre-Lesson:
● I am going on a trip! But I’m not going to tell you where. You have to figure out where I’m
going based on the items I have packed in this bag.
● I pull out a hat, a beach towel, sunglasses, sunscreen, a water bottle, and a book.
○ Students will hopefully respond with “the beach!” as the destination of my trip
● How were you able to figure this out even though I never told you?
○ They have been to the beach so they knew the items that were used on a beach
vacation.
● This is called an inference. An inference is when we figure something out that wasn’t
completely explained in a book.
○ We can sometimes use pictures to help us, but inferences can really help us
when we are reading books without pictures.
● We are going to read this book (Peter Rabbit) together and see if we can make some
inferences as we read.
Read-Aloud:
Activity:
Extra:
● If extra time, have students write about inferences in their reading journal.
● Write: Inferences: figuring something out that wasn’t completely explained in the text.
○ Schema (what I know) + Text Evidence (what I read) = inference
