Inference Worksheets

Inference Worksheets

These worksheets support learners in developing the skills of reading for meaning and making inferences. The teacher guide at the start helps you navigate through a series of activities that support learners in understanding a text. Each text will take approximately an hour to complete. These work particularly well with groups of 3-6 learners but can also be used 1-1 and with larger groups.

These activities help learners to practise:

• making connections with current knowledge
• visualising
• questioning
• word meaning
• explaining subtext
• empathy
• prioritising
• summarising

The eight texts included in this bundle are extracts from:

• The Wind in the Willows
• Peter Pan
• Treasure Island
• The Secret Garden
• The Wizard of Oz
• A Christmas Carol
