 To make inferences about characters and events based on what has been read.

Making inferences is the same as using clues in the text to understand what is happening, even if it doesn't say it. We need to train our brain to do this so we can understand more of what we read. By talking through our ideas, we also develop reasoning skills. We do this a lot in Year 2 when we use the word 'because'.

Take a look at these examples and talk with your partner about what you think the answers might be.

First we will use drama skills to talk as though we are Arty before writing our ideas in a speech bubble.

I feel miserable when the other trolls make fun of me. They are very mean!
