Printable reading comprehension worksheet titled "Making Inferences" where students read a story about Josh and his dad and answer questions about their likely destination, with a space to draw a picture of where they went.

To figure out where Josh and his dad are going, we need to look for clues in the story. This is called making an inference.

Step 1: Look at the weather.
The story says, "The sun was out and it was hot." This tells us they are going somewhere outside where the weather is nice.

Step 2: Look at what they brought.
Josh’s dad said, "don’t forget to bring a towel!" Josh grabbed a towel before they left.

Step 3: Connect the clues.
Where do people go on a hot, sunny day that requires a towel?
- You use a towel to dry off after getting wet.
- Common places to get wet on a hot day are a swimming pool, a beach, or a lake.

Since they are leaving the house with towels on a hot day, they are most likely going to swim.

Final Answer:
Josh and his dad were going to the beach or a swimming pool.
