Hidden Hint Analyzer

This worksheet delivers two short passages filled with subtle contextual hints. Students must determine what happened, what characters are thinking, and what details suggest deeper meaning. The stories-burnt cookies and a coach reflecting on a trophy-require readers to interpret sensory descriptions, character reactions, and symbolic objects. Each inference question pushes students to think beyond literal text and construct meaning using implied information. This develops analytical reading and strengthens comprehension of narrative structure. The everyday scenarios allow students to infer naturally and confidently.
