Do your class need more opportunities to develop their inference skills? Look no further than our KS2 Explain your Answer using Evidence from the Text Reading Test Practice. This resource has been differentiated into three levels of challenge that offer you both choice and challenge for all of your learners. We've included three or four different text types, per level of differentiation, for children to practice using their inference skills across these ready to complete activities.

Use this resource as an independent activity that can be used in class as part of a reading task. Alternatively, these can be used as an assessment tool, or for activities within an intervention group; the choice is yours! There's an answer sheet for each level of challenge at the end of the resource that you or the children can use.
