This classroom display pack contains five KS2 inference posters illustrating different ways that children can use context clues to infer the meaning of unfamiliar words and ambitious vocabulary.

Each poster uses an amusing or interesting image accompanied by word balloons to demonstrate this strategy.

Blank balloon templates and wall display resources enable you to use the children’s own ideas on your working wall display.

The strategies included in this pack are:

  • Inference
  • Definition
  • Example
  • Antonym
  • Synonym

Also included in the pack are 20 unfamiliar words with their definitions so that children can use these to create their own inference sentences.
