Target audience:
Teaching Staff and Senior Leaders
Course outline and purpose:
A whole class programme to develop inference skills for children from KS2 to KS3 who have age appropriate decoding skills but who are experiencing difficulties acquiring full meaning and enjoyment from their reading. This 3 half-day training programme will give you all the skills you need to deliver Inference Training in the classroom.
Key Objectives:
Inference Training uses diagnostic conversations to target the needs of children and enables teachers to boost reading comprehension through a focused approach to engaging with and gaining understanding from texts. Through Inference Training children will:
- Activate and apply prior knowledge to their reading and use title cues to predict
- Identify key words and elaborate on them to enhance meaning, and develop vocabulary
- Generate their own questions and answer them
- Generate inferences and integrate meaning as they read to build a gist
- Summarise a short text extract using visualisation, quick pictures, picto-words and a 10 word or less headline
- Retell an extract to emphasise the gist
- Become pro-active readers of texts
