Suitable for Teachers

‘Switch on, sit back and learn’ this session will focus on one small area of learning and will enable delegates will take away strategies/information that they can put into action immediately.

The focus of this one hour, lecture style remote session is Reading Between the Lines- Support for teaching inference skills

Inference is one of the most important skills needed to understand texts, yet we know that many children find it a particularly difficult skills. In this presentation, Rachel Clarke, explores inference and provides advice on how to teach it. The course uses examples from children’s literature and equips delegates to teach inference in creative and effective ways so that their children can open up the lines of text and find the hidden answers.

Course aims:

• Establish what is meaning by inference

• Consider a selection of practical inference activities

• Provide course delegates with ‘take away’ ideas to embed in their teaching.

• Consider what is meant by inference
