Reading comprehension and inference
Support an interpretation with evidence, then evaluate another reading.
Shared cross-level core and stretch unit. Start with the core questions, then use the stretch example for deeper work. The same unit is available in related class and board pathways; it is not a full grade-specific or examination-specification course. A teacher should select the appropriate depth and further topics.
Learn the idea
Separate a detail stated in the text from an inference drawn from clues. An inference needs evidence; a possible explanation is not a proven fact. In an evaluation, weigh how strongly the evidence supports each reading.
Worked example
At dawn, Sara found the library door open. A wet umbrella stood beside the desk, although the rain had stopped hours earlier. She touched the dry books and smiled. The umbrella suggests a visitor during the rain, but does not identify that visitor.
- Underline the observed details.
- Link each inference to a detail.
- Consider what the text leaves unknown.
Stretch example
If a narrator says “Everyone knew the library was safe”, ask whose knowledge is being reported. A confident generalisation can reveal a narrator’s attitude without proving that every person agreed.
