ABOUT THIS READER
This concise passage titled "Soccer Practice" supports 4th grade students in developing their inference skills as required by CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.1. The narrative follows Jamal during soccer practice as darkening skies and thunder prompt the coach to end practice early. Students must use explicit textual details like "thunder rumbled" and "heavy raindrops" to infer why practice ended early and what season it might be. The first question requires students to make a direct inference based on weather conditions described in the text, while the second question challenges them to connect seasonal weather patterns with the scenario presented. This passage effectively teaches students to use specific details as evidence when explaining both explicit statements and implied information. The familiar context of outdoor sports and weather concerns makes this passage highly relatable for elementary school readers.
