Slide2Thanks for buying!
Hi!
Thanks for buying “Inferential and Problem-Solving Language Activities.” Whenever I teach my students, I ask myself “Why?” Why do I want my students to learn this? So, here are some reasons you should want to teach these skills.
Students struggling with inferential or problem-solving skills also often struggle in other subjects. Inferential language skills are needed in math, reading, science, and social studies.
These skills go on to help students process and make sense of their world. They are a way to work on functional skills.
These skills are a requirement and listed as a standard
“Students make inferences or draw conclusions about what has been read and support those conclusions with textual evidence.”
Again,
thanks
so much for buying!
I hope your students benefit. Please
don’t hesitate to contact me with any
questions!
