Context Clues is an important skill that students must master in order to improve and enhance their comprehension of texts. This skill is especially important for students to apply on state exams to meet proficiency. This resource provides 36 opportunities for students to practice using context clues to determine the meanings of unknown words. The Task Cards and Test Format contain the same content and include 36 multiple-choice questions. Students read 1-3 sentences that contain an underlined vocabulary word in which they must use context clues to figure out the meaning of the word. They choose the correct answer. The sentences include clues or “hints” that students can use to help them figure out the meaning of the words. The ANSWER KEY Task Cards highlight the context clues in the color yellow, and the correct answer choice in the color red.

✨ The Context Clues Task Cards are included in Google Slides. Students simply drag the correct letter choice to the answer line - Interactive!
✨ The test format also includes a digital version!
*******************************
Text boxes have already been created to make it easier for you and your students! Each slide includes two instruction solution tabs for when students accidentally delete text boxes and when they want to zoom in (to enlarge worksheets). It's super helpful for students who are not that familiar with how to use Google Slides or need the extra assistance.
*******************************

This resource is also included in the following discounted Bundles:

**********************************
ABOUT THIS RESOURCE
- Drawing Conclusions / Making Inferences

This resource includes:
------ 44 COLORED Drawing Conclusions Question TASK CARDS
------ 44 B&W Drawing Conclusions Question TASK CARDS
------ 44 Drawing Conclusions Question STRIPS
------ List of Questions (Easy access for teachers)
**********************************
Drawing conclusions refers to information that is implied or inferred. Students use important textual information to make meaning out of what is not clearly stated by authors/writers. Writers give readers hints or clues that help them “read between the lines,” since not everything is explicitly stated. Drawing conclusions enables students to move beyond simple decoding.
Drawing Conclusions is an important skill students need to master to enhance their comprehension of texts and “think outside the box.” Drawing conclusions is not only used in content areas, but also in problem solving, and in social interactions.
This resource features a combination of 44 Drawing Conclusions questions and question stems that cover the topics of character, setting, events, author, and quote analysis. They can be used as writing prompts, discussion/debate questions, or both! These Task Cards and Question Stem Strips can be used in a variety of ways and would make an AMAZING supplement to any lesson.
DESCRIPTION
44 Drawing Conclusions Question TASK CARDS - These Drawing Conclusions Question Task Cards can be used as part of a larger lesson, in guided small groups, whole-class discussions, partner discussion before sharing out with the larger group or class, writing prompt activities, formative assessment during or after reading, journal-writing, or even one-on-one with a teacher or parent/guardian! You can print the Task Cards out on gloss paper or regular paper and laminate. You may also organize them in a binder ring.
44 Drawing Conclusions Question Strips - These sentence question strips are beautifully created and feature the same Drawing Conclusion questions in the Task Cards. They can be cut, distributed, and used in many ways including distributing one or two to each student to think about, share their thinking and responses with a partner, or you can simply randomly choose a question strip and call on student to answer - Be creative!
LIST of Drawing Conclusions Questions
Also included is a 2-page LIST of Drawing Conclusion questions/question stems to allow easier access for teachers to read and select questions to work with. It’s like an overview page of the Drawing Conclusion questions listed in the Task Cards and Strips.

Task Cards and Stem Strip Ideas

- Set up literacy centers with different short stories or passages. Students can use the task cards before, during, and after reading.
- Organize students in small groups or pairs and have them go back and forth asking and answering questions orally.
- Lead a guided reading group to discuss specific task cards with students in need or who have shown difficult mastering the skill.
- Go around the room and have students randomly select a task card for them and their partner to answer. They will discuss, write, and present their response to the class.
