Brainy Skills Inferencing Game - Lumos Educational App Store

Brainy Skills Inferencing Game provides basic beginning level inferencing questions and situations in an exciting game format. Even the simplest inferencing can be difficult for some children. Children begin to make observations when they can see something happening. In contrast, inferences are what they figure out based on an experience or relating to an experience, which is more abstract. Helping students understand when information is implied, or not directly stated, will improve their skills in drawing conclusions, making inferences/predictions, reasoning, problem solving, logic, critical thinking, cognitive skills and even social skills. Special needs students can benefit greatly from gaining inferencing abilities in this motivating format which provides the building blocks for more difficult inferencing. These skills will be needed for all types of school assignments, including reading, science, social studies and many other subjects, as well as life in general. Inferential thinking is a complex skill that will develop over time and with experience. Questions may ask why a person may have responded as he did or what the child thinks will happen next. Because young children are quite literal, this is often very difficult and they have to “read between the lines.” Questions are presented in a game format, giving the student the opportunity to choose the best answer, that would make the most logical sense, given the details provided. It will help students read into important situations in their future, simply by developing and expanding these important skills. Teachers, parents and therapists can use these for critical thinking discussion questions, rational thought, and common sense predictions. Some topics touch on common social skill scenarios.
