About The Course

Ask any teacher about the areas of reading that many pupils struggle with the most and they will probably tell you that inference and deduction are right up there!

This course will explore ways into early inference for pupils in EYFS and KS1 classrooms. Teachers will explore how inference begins outside the remit of reading within everyday life and how this can be used to develop pupils’ ability to make inferences based on what they see going on around them. It will also look at how to move this into picture books and early reading texts.

Teachers will need to bring to the session a book (or text extract) that they intend to use with their classes.
