Riddles are an excellent way to practice interpreting figurative language, idioms, and homographs. Yet, for many students, this interpretive process can be hard to grasp, particularly if they are working with difficult material before they are ready.

In the “101 Inference Riddles” activity, your students progress through a graduated sequence of riddles, with riddle #1 being the easiest, and riddle #101 being the most difficult. They are gently introduced to similes, metaphors, homographs, and idioms, and are provided multiple clues to guide them as they practice and reinforce their interpretive skills. Through this process, your students are able to work at a level that is appropriate for them, and develop confidence making inferences and predictions.
