Inference making has the largest direct effect on reading comprehension after controlling for word reading, vocabulary, and knowledge (Cromley & Azevedo, 2007) and a growing body of research suggests that inference making is one of the unique and significant predictors of comprehension (Ahmed et al., 2014; Cain et al., 2001; Hannon & Daneman, 1998; Kendeou et al., 2008). My own consultancy work with schools has shown evidence that teacher training on inference has a substantial impact on reading comprehension outcomes both at the expected standard and at greater depth. 

The course combines theory with practice to develop teacher expertise. There are 9 short video tutorials, a range of think pieces and CPD activities, practical resources and advice guides. It is designed to be completed over a couple of terms, interweaving learning with classroom application and fitting in with the time available for training, with faster route options set out for those needing to make rapid progress,
