This is my first year teaching Kindergarten, and I was a bit surprised to find out that we teach inferring. This is a skill that my third graders struggled to understand, so I was dreading the first few lessons with five-year-olds. They have far exceeded my expectations, though. Sure, I'm using simpler texts and focusing more on basic inferring skills, but they are doing great. It was a good reminder to avoid underestimating my students' capacity to learn and demonstrate deep thinking.
Does anyone have any good recommendations for primary level books to practice inferring? We've used Knuffle Bunny books, Llama Llama books, and Bear is Scared so far. I'd love some fresh ideas!
