This Grade 2 inference worksheet uses short mini-passages of one to two sentences. Students fill in nine blanks by reading each passage and making a smart guess using clues plus their own knowledge. They also match four mini-passages with the correct inference from a list. Grade 2 kids practice putting clues together like real detectives, and each item has a helpful hint and a why explanation to build strong inference thinking skills.
