SUBTEXT
close readingevidenceinferenceKS3-KS5

Explore the depths of a text, layer by layer. Find what shows more than it tells.

The text is revealed piece by piece. Instead of skimming ahead, you're forced to dwell on the detail, looking for places to take a deeper dive: tap the words doing more than they say, consider the evidence, and push the inference as far as it will go. Five dives to try: two KS3 warm-ups, then Dickens and Browning at GCSE and a Fitzgerald A Level text as well.

What it trains

Close, evidence-based reading of a single text: the kind of critical analysis GCSE and A level study demands. Coming soon: more texts and a tool for teacher to paste their own class texts as well.
