Prediction vs Inference 

Understanding the difference between predicting and inferring is an important part of building strong reading skills in the early years. When students learn how these two thinking processes work, they become more active and engaged readers.

Recognising the difference helps children think more deeply about what they read, rather than just focusing on the words on the page. It supports them in developing comprehension skills, as they begin to use clues, make connections, and explain their ideas more clearly.

These posters are the perfect way to remind students of the difference between predicting and inferring.
