Infer and Deduce - Year 5 and 6

'Infer and Deduce - Year 5 and 6' is designed to help pupils learn how to develop deduction skills when reading fiction and non-fiction texts.  The PowerPoint uses images and texts to convey how writers use inference in a text to communicate with the reader.  This fully editable PowerPoint resource can be used as a starter activity, a standalone lesson or built into a scheme of work on wider reading, inference and deduction skills.  The activities include:

• What is inference and deduction? Use of optical illusions to convey the concept of hidden meanings.
• Illustrations and photographs designed to sharpen deduction skills.
• Extract from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to develop deduction skills when dealing with written text with an accompanying worksheet

'Infer and Deduce - Year 5 and 6' is fully editable so teachers can adapt the resource, if required, to suit the needs of each class they teach.
