Primary 3Sentencesinference: working answers out from a story

Writing by hand is still the better way to do this one. Print it instead if you have a printer.

Reading: a story

Read the story in Part I first. Then work down the parts in order, pointing at your evidence in the text every time.

Reading the rule, reading the passage and writing sentences of your own are not marked — there is nothing honest to mark them against. Everything else is.

Not marked

A good story does not tell you everything. Some of it you have to work out from clues, and that is called inference. Always point at your evidence: for any work it out answer, be able to say which words gave you the idea.

Nothing to answer here. Read it, and keep it — you can open it again on every exercise.

    the answer is in the words

  2. Work it out

    Why did she go quiet?

  3. What do you think

    your own view, backed by the text

    Should she have told him?
