“I attended your CPD inference training yesterday and wanted to contact you today to say a huge thank you! It was lovely to see and hear how passionate you were about this area of literacy and I found the session informative and interesting. Thank you again Pet!” Tara Harbut-Sellars, NCLT Academy
This recorded training is aimed at all primary teachers and Teaching Assistants.
Inference is an important life skill and is a key focus in the National Curriculum at KS1 and KS2. Inference is a prerequisite for higher-order thinking (Marzano, 2010) and is often described in research into reading as ‘foundational’.
“A key finding of the review was that the ability to draw inferences predetermines reading skills: that is, poor inferencing causes poor comprehension and not vice versa.” Effective Teaching of Inference Skills for Reading: Literature Review DfE
In this session we will explore:
- The importance of vocabulary and ‘context knowledge’ to pupils’ ability to make inferences (Ofsted Research Review Series:English 2022)
- The use of questioning to support the development of inference skills.
- Active strategies and instructional activities to develop inference (which can be used at a whole class level or as part of reading intervention).
