Our quiz introduces KS1 children in Year 2 to inference. It can also be played by pupils that have just begun Year 3. There will be a sentence and then they are to answer questions on what they have read from inferring or assuming. This will enhance their comprehension, literacy and English language skills as suggested in the National Curriculum.
