Help Year 4 students combine text clues, picture clues, language choices and prior knowledge to make evidence-backed inferences. This complete English unit moves from visual clues to sentence-level clues, then applies the same strategy to fiction and informative texts.

Students learn to explain their thinking clearly with evidence, use sentence frames such as “I think … because …”, and avoid unsupported guesses by linking every inference to what the text or image shows.
