Improving Inference

Whole School Live Online Training or Purchase a Recording

This 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).
