Inference is like being a detective in reading! It's when you use clues from the text to figure out something the author doesn't directly say. Inference clues worksheets help you practice finding those hidden meanings and making educated guesses based on the evidence. Think of it as 'reading between the lines' to understand the full story.
These worksheets give you passages to read and questions that require you to infer information. By identifying key words and phrases, you can piece together the puzzle and draw logical conclusions.
