Reading comprehension and inference
Find a detail, explain an inference and distinguish what remains unknown.
Original Kidemy Class 6 progression. This level has its own text, examples and questions. Curriculum versions share the progression; complete board-specific coverage still needs specification matching and additional material.
Learn the idea
An inference links a detail to a reasonable explanation. It should not turn a possible reason into a stated fact. Read pronouns back to the people they refer to, then answer the exact question.
Worked example
Mina reached the classroom early. A small key lay beside the door. Instead of trying it in every lock, she gave it to the caretaker. At break, a teacher thanked her and collected the key.
