RATIONALE

Inference requires the reader to unravel implicit information. In PROBE it is defined as simple inference (evaluation as complex inference). Describing it as simple inference is not to imply it is easy to unravel.  It is found in all forms of writing from basic readers to academic treatises.

  • meet the needs of a wide range of students
  • demonstrate (model) how inference works
  • provide practise examples using both fiction & non-fiction texts
