Reading comprehension and inference

Analyse a narrator’s viewpoint and a gap in knowledge.

Original Kidemy Class 9 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

A first-person narrator gives access to a particular perspective, not every character’s mind. Compare what the narrator observes with what they assume. Apparent confidence in a sentence can expose an attitude rather than establish a fact.

Worked example

I saw Karim leave before the prize was announced. “He must be angry,” I thought. Later, his sister said he had promised to help at home. I wondered how often I had mistaken haste for dislike.

  1. Read the text and identify the purpose.
  2. Support your answer with a specific detail.
  3. Revise meaning, structure and accuracy.
