This Grade 2 worksheet stretches inference skills with informational text clues. Students use details about features and surroundings to infer animal habitats like deserts or wetlands and tools like saws, clocks, and toasters. Nine fill-ins and a four-item matching task give steady practice. Hints point to the strongest clue in each passage, and every answer includes a short reason so Grade 2 readers learn to rely on text evidence.
