SATS Reading Common Errors Inference Y6

Want to teach your Year 6 pupils how to avoid common errors when answering inference questions? This PowerPoint goes through three common SATS inference errors, one by one. There’s plenty of change to practise, with two texts (and sets of questions) per error.

The errors covered are:

• Not using the clues (not using the evidence to help answer the inference question
• Short answers (missing key parts of the answer and, thus, missing out on marks)
• Dangerous general knowledge (using general knowledge in a SATS answer, rather than using the text to answer the question).

With six enjoyable texts and six sets of questions (three questions per text), there is plenty of SATS reading practice to be carried out here.
