Context Clue Conclusions

This worksheet helps students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 strengthen reading comprehension, inference skills, and critical thinking by drawing conclusions from short narrative passages. Learners read four brief scenarios and use tone, character actions, descriptive details, and prior knowledge to determine what is most likely true beyond what is directly stated in the text.
