Inference: images, film and into text.

I have been developing some ideas around linking picture books, films and text in order to teach comprehension skills based on our VIPERS reading prompts. 

The following video is based on a group of lessons which introduces children to the concept of inference as looking for clues and creating a hypotheses from the evidence that they can find.  The beauty of using still or moving image is that it is inclusive, that reluctant readers or non decoders can also join in the discussion.  In the following film you will see the development from still image, to moving image and then the application of the skill on some text extracts.
