They got the answer right… but can’t explain why
You might have seen this before.
A student answers correctly, but when you ask, “How did you know?”, biglang tahimik.
Hindi dahil hindi niya alam. Most of the time, hindi pa siya sanay tumingin sa clues.
They just guess based on what looks familiar.
This is exactly the gap this worksheet is trying to address.
What this worksheet helps with
This worksheet focuses on paghihinuha (making inferences) using pictures.
Instead of just naming what they see, students start thinking:
- What is happening?
- Why is it happening?
- Anong clues ang nakita ko?
For early learners, this step is important before moving to more complex reading tasks.
What’s inside the worksheet
This is a picture-based, multiple choice worksheet designed for beginners (L1).
- Each item shows a simple, familiar situation
- Students answer questions about actions, reasons, or place
- Each question has 3 choices
For example, students might look at:
- a child holding a glass while waiting
- a man packing clothes into a suitcase
- a child pointing at items in a sari-sari store
From there, they choose the best answer based on what they see and what they already know.
Skill Breakdown
This worksheet helps students practice:
- Understanding – what is happening in the picture
- Identifying clues – noticing important details
- Connecting ideas – linking clues with prior knowledge
- Choosing answers – selecting the most logical option
Even if it’s multiple choice, the real goal is to train how they think—not just what they pick.
When to use this
- After introducing the lesson on paghihinuha
- As independent seatwork
- For review before moving to text-based inference
- For home practice (easy to guide kahit saglit lang)
