Making social inferences means understanding information that is inferred or not directly stated. It involves observing a situation, then using clues with background knowledge to figure out what has happened or what is happening. The ability to make social inferences is an essential social skill. The pictures are designed for middle and high school students with images of both younger and older people to help you better differentiate for your students.

Use these 30 pictures, in a variety of ways, to help students make social inferences and develop a social understanding of what they see. Students can use these pictures to develop an understanding of what people’s situations are, what their intentions are, how they are feeling, what they are thinking, and what is likely to happen next. The pictures are relevant and represent every day living.

DESCRIPTION

PowerPoint - 30 Slides/Editable

  • This resource includes a 30 slide editable PowerPoint. Each PowerPoint slide contains an amazing background with the pictures. You can move or resize the pictures any way you like and even add text! This PowerPoint should help you get started on developing your lesson. The PowerPoint can even be used for picture analysis and help facilitate discussion!

30 Pictures on Task Cards ONLY (PDF)

  • If you work with children with severe disabilities or kids who struggle significantly with writing, a “Just Pictures” section is included. This will allow all students a chance to make social inferences. You can use these Task Cards in small groups, during guided instruction, or put under a projector or on the smartboard, so students can make inferences whole-class.

30 Pictures on Worksheets with Lines (Higher Level – Print and Digital)

  • These worksheets include the pictures with lines so students can make their own social inferences without guidance and explain them. The directions ask students to also support their inferences with evidence from the pictures.

30 Pictures on Worksheets with a Blank T-Chart (Mid-Level – Print and Digital)

  • These worksheets include the pictures with a blank T-Chart ("Social Inference" is titled in the first column, and "Picture Evidence" is titled in the second column). The directions ask students to make three social inferences and support their inferences with evidence from the pictures.

30 Pictures on Worksheets with T-Chart Partially Filled (Low-Level – Print and Digital)

  • These worksheets also include a T-Chart table that is partially filled to help get students who need the additional support thinking. The table includes (or provides) one social inference, where students only need to add the evidence. It also includes a piece of evidence from the picture in which they are asked to make an inference based on the piece of evidence provided. Then they make one social inference and support it with a piece of picture evidence on their own.

30 Pictures on Worksheets with Questions (3 Inference Questions and ANSWER KEYS – Print and Digital)

  • These worksheets include the pictures with three inference-based questions. Students are asked to answer the questions and support their social inferences with evidence from the pictures. ANSWER KEYS are included!

Complete Fry Sight Words Checklist Sight Words Flash Cards Bundle: 1st - 10th 100
This all-inclusive bundle encapsulates the entire journey through the ten sets of 100 Fry sight words, offering a structured and progressive approach to mastering sight words from foundational to advanced levels of language proficiency.

Key Features
Each checklist within this bundle maintains a meticulous design with 9 columns per page, facilitating comprehensive progress tracking and assessment across multiple trials. Available in both full-color and black-and-white versions, these checklists cater to diverse printing needs across various classroom settings.

Focused Goal Setting

Why This Bundle Matters
By encompassing the entire spectrum of Fry sight words, from the foundational to the most advanced, this bundle significantly elevates students' reading fluency, enhances language proficiency, and fosters comprehensive reading development. It stands as an indispensable resource for educators committed to guiding students toward a profound mastery of sight words and heightened literacy skills across all academic levels.

Advantages of Fry Words over Dolch Words The Fry Sight Words list is organized into 10 groups of 100 words each, covering the most frequently used words in writing. Starting with the initial 300 words in early education significantly boosts reading and comprehension skills. While Fry words aren't strictly tied to specific grades, they're usually introduced in sets of 100 words to support gradual sight word recognition. Here's a general guide for introducing these sets:

  • First 100 Fry Words: Typically introduced in kindergarten and first grade.
  • Second 100 Fry Words: Taught in first or second grade, reinforcing foundational words.
  • Third 100 Fry Words: Added in second or third grade, including more complex words.

  • Fifth 100 Fry Words: Presented in fourth or fifth grade, offering more challenging words.
