• It is for KS2/3 pupils who decode adequately but experience comprehension difficulties
• It is a group intervention but training includes whole school strategies to boost comprehension
• In the group intervention, four pupils work with an adult (trained Level 2/3 TA or Teacher) for 40 minutes a session, twice a week for ten weeks. (But adults need an extra 20 minutes per lesson to include planning and recording time)
• Groups that have two sessions a week for 8-10 weeks make an average of 12 months progress in comprehension age (2/3 sub levels)
• The Inference Folder/DVD is only available to schools that access the training.
