Prediction-Inference Sort Answer Key

Students learn to distinguish between predictions (future-based thinking) and inferences (present-based reasoning). They read six short examples and label each as either a prediction or an inference, using contextual understanding to decide. The worksheet helps clarify the difference between anticipating future events and interpreting current clues, building essential comprehension and reasoning skills for narrative and informational reading.
