Description

Class Experience

Any student needs to be able to understand inference in a text, whether fiction or fact. Learners need to be able to decode what a writer is inferring in order to be able to 'read between the lines'. Not only does this enrich their own reading experience but many tests in schools actively look for this skill. 
In this class, we will help students understand when information is implied, or not directly stated, improve their skill in drawing conclusions and build up an understanding of what...

Students will improve understanding of how inference works in fiction and non-fiction, how to pull information and evidence from a text when it isn't specifically stated and how to search a text for the passages needed without needing to re-read every part.

Writing is my passion and as well as majoring in English at university, I've almost 20 years experience in teaching English in primary schools (4-11-year-olds). Over those years have regularly worked with groups of children specifically on English writing skills. I also have experience of teaching inference classes specifically in preparation for SATS tests.

No homework will be set.

  1 file available upon enrollment
A notebook/ paper and something to write with. A print out is supplied for use during class if required so that students can highlight and note parts of the passage for themselves if they wish- but it is not necessary in order to take part in the class as the passage will be screen shared.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Informal assessment during class

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
