About This Reader
This reading passage titled "Grandma's Kitchen" provides 4th graders with an excellent opportunity to practice making inferences based on textual evidence as required by CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.1. The narrative describes Sofia and her grandmother making star-shaped cookies on a snowy day, incorporating sensory details like the "sweet smell of cinnamon." Students must use explicit textual clues including "rolled the dough," "cookie cutters," and "snow covered the ground" to determine what they're making and what holiday season it might be. The questions guide students to distinguish between directly stated information and reasonable inferences based on contextual clues and background knowledge. This passage effectively teaches students to identify supporting evidence when explaining both explicit content and implied meanings. The familiar context of family baking traditions creates an engaging scenario that encourages students to connect personally with the text while developing essential reading comprehension skills.
