An exciting photocopiable reading comprehension resource from Andrew Jennings (@VocabularyNinja), the creator of the hugely popular Write Like a Ninja, Vocabulary Ninja and Comprehension Ninja: Non-Fiction series.
Comprehension Ninja: Inference and Beyond for Upper KS2 presents 24 high-quality non-fiction, fiction and poetry texts and photocopiable activities to help embed comprehension skills across the curriculum. With accompanying question sets that challenge pupils to effectively summarise, predict, and infer from the text, this practical resource will save teachers time and supercharge pupils' reading comprehension skills. Difficulty increases through the book to enable teachers to meet pupils where they're at.
As well as improving their comprehension skills, this book provides excellent SATs practice for every child. Inference makes up 30% to 50% of the marks available in the Reading SATs paper, closely following retrieval as the main domain in which children can acquire marks.

Inference is one of the trickiest skills to teach, and this book tackles it brilliantly. The variety of questions encourages children to think deeply, use evidence, and articulate their understanding - exactly the skills they need to become confident readers

The extracts cover a range of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, with SATs-style questions that are perfect for essential pre-test preparation.
Stephen Connor, English Lead, Year 6 teacher
I loved this - accessible, clearly set-out, and purposeful. A great asset for class teachers to have to work with a whole class, or for children to work on in small groups in order to brush up on finding evidence in reading.
