Welcome back to another episode of the Triple T Podcast! In today's episode, we are talking about teaching one of the most essential reading skills: inferencing. Using a fun and engaging method of analyzing found receipts, we explore how to help your students read between the lines and make educated guesses. Gathering discarded receipts, students can practice inferencing and characterization by creating backstories, writing letters, and even coming up with outrageous scenarios. This episode offers a range of creative exercises that will not only boost inferencing skills but also make learning incredibly fun and memorable. Join us for a nosy neighbor-inspired adventure that transforms an ordinary day into a great one!
