Year 6 Reading Comprehension-Inference and Vocabulary resources

Designed by a Year 6 teacher and Reading SATs marker, this resource contains a PowerPoint of 15 reading texts with related vocabulary and inference questions, plus a PowerPoint containing reading question stems to use when focusing on inference in lessons. It also includes answer prompts for children to use when responding to questions, both orally and in writing. All activities are aligned to the KS2 national tests-the questions are written in the style of recent tests, and the question stems are compiled from analysis of past SATs questions.

Texts include a mixture of fiction, non fiction and poetry. These resources are ideal to use as regular short-burst reading practice for Year 6 during the time before KS2 SATs. They can be used as part of whole-class or small group reading lessons or guided reading sessions. All are fully editable.

The resources focus on the specific content domains (the comprehension elements of the national curriculum as assessed by KS2 English reading tests) related to vocabulary and inference:

2a-give / explain the meaning of words in context
2d-make inferences from the text / explain and justify inferences with evidence from the text
