Table of Contents
"The exercises are short enough to prevent frustration, and clear enough that its easy for a teacher to evaluate success. So do I recommend? Wholeheartedly!" -Angela, Florida
"Inference Jones books are definitely fun--and they can be used in a variety of ways!" -Homeschool.com
"I was pleased to find my daughter starting to understand the idea of inference in writing. After 6 lessons I began to see the results showing up in her narrations." -Taunya, Oregon
"Both of my sons are concrete thinkers. The questions from Inference Jones draw out the student and really teach the kids to read between the lines. Would I recommend this book? Without a doubt...YES!!!" -Renita, Ohio
"As a parent, I appreciated the content of the paragraphs. From being on time, to practice, to having a good attitude, many concepts were working on at home. To have that reinforced in their reading was like an extra bonus! Inference Jones required my children to think about feelings, emotions, ideas, and concepts that the author was trying to convey. We were very happy with the Inference Jones workbook and will definitely be using it for a part of our reading curriculum next year--for both kiddos!" -Annie, Florida
"I would highly recommend this book. I liked that my kids had to talk out why they thought their answers were correct. My son has always been a good reader, but he benefitted from using Inference Jones as much as my daughter. I also noticed a definite improvement in my daughters reading skills using this book. I was delighted when she sat down one day, on her own, and did about 8 lessons all in one sitting. This is unheard of for her who generally does not like book work" -Jill, New Mexico
"My 8-year-old is at about a 4th grade level in reading, grammar and comprehension and she LOVED this." -Alin, New Jersey
"My son and I recommend it wholeheartedly!" -Brandy, Arizona
"Im thrilled that my daughter has enjoyed it so much, glad she can work on it independently and very pleased with the precise thinking skills that it helps to form." -Jennifer, Canada
"I thought the book was easy to use, and because the stories and pages were short and easy to complete I had no complaining from the kids." -Beth, West Virginia
"I loved the engaging way the material is presented to students. It is not your typical worksheet. Students had to use higher-order thinking skills to make accurate inferences. The passages were engaging and kept the students interested." -Learning® Magazine
"This is not just another reading challenge for children. Instead, the goal of the training is to teach children to make inferences in everyday life." -Ann, Home Educating Family Association
