SUBTEXT
close readingevidenceinferenceKS3–KS5

Explore the depths of a text, layer by layer. What shows more than it tells?

The text is revealed in short chunks — no skimming ahead — and each layer sets a challenge: heat-scan for expressive language, pin down your evidence, then push the analysis deeper. Scoring rewards the range and precision of your evidence, and what re-reading gives you.

What it trains

Close, evidence-based reading of a single text: exactly the precise, grounded reading a GCSE inference question demands. Teachers can paste in the text their class is studying.
