Improving inference. KS1 34 activities.

Improving inference skills for reading. KS1 pack of 34 short activities.
Each story activity is based around a simple everyday task or activity. The information is implied within the text to encourage pupils to extract meaning from clues and draw conclusions. I wrote these activities to help my class of Y1 pupils improve their ability to extract relevant information from text but I have also used them with older and SEN pupils. Can be used as a lesson warm up with the whole class, in a small guided group or with a target group and a TA.
12 Short story paragraphs (What is happening?) with prompts to develop pupil understanding of meaning within text based upon a character’s behaviour, conversation or actions.
10 short story paragraphs with prompts to develop pupil understanding of where people are or where something happened through inferred conversation and description.
12 picture prompt/ choices for pupils to extract an action or activity (using picture and text clues) linked to a simple question or sentence.
