What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use pictures, words, and events to figure out ideas the author does not state directly. They follow clues, adjust their thinking, and explain what supports each inference.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students state what happened and infer a character’s feeling, reason, or possible lesson. They point to a picture or story detail and revise their thinking when a new clue appears.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may guess from personal experience without using a clue from the text or picture. They may confuse a stated fact with an inference or refuse to change an early idea.
How to Assess It
- Show a three-panel wordless story. Ask, “What is the character feeling, which clue shows that, and did your idea change?”

Ways to Teach It
Place objects in a mystery bag, let students infer who owns them, and ask them to name the clue supporting each idea.
Pause during a read-aloud and ask, “What might the character want, and what words or pictures make you think that?”
Play Inference Match by pairing picture clue cards with feeling or action cards, then having students explain each match.
Show wet umbrellas and muddy shoes, then have students infer the weather and name the real-world signs they used.
