Effective activities to train students' inference skills with sight words include using cloze sentences where students fill in blanks with appropriate sight words, matching games that pair sight words with pictures or actions, and interactive storytelling where students predict the next sight word based on context. Flashcards with sight words used in simple sentences can also enhance inference skills.
