SOCIAL INFERENCING MADE SIMPLE We make social inferences every day. We use facial expressions, body language, surroundings, and context to work out how someone might be feeling, what they could be thinking, or what may have happened. For some children, teenagers, and adults, noticing these clues and putting them together can be challenging. Inference Pics Lite provides a simple, structured way for speech-language pathologists, teachers, parents, and caregivers to work on social understanding, expressive language, and reasoning skills in speech therapy, education, or at home. SEE WHAT INFERENCE PICS LITE CAN DO • Get learners explaining their thinking, not just giving an answer. • Save prep time with ready-made inference questions, answers, and hints. • Draw directly on photos to circle or highlight important clues. • Show or hide possible answers to adjust the level of support. • Target emotions, perspective-taking, expressive language, and social reasoning. • Practice interpreting facial expressions, body language, and context. • Work with photos of real-life situations, not cartoons. • Create user profiles and track results. • No subscription and no Wi-Fi needed. LOOK. THINK. EXPLAIN. Each inference picture in Inference Pics has two inference prompts/questions. The first question varies depending on the chosen inference activity. For example, in the Conversations activity the user is asked "What are they saying? while in the Seasons activity the inference prompt is "What time of year is it? The second question in each inference activity is always “How can you tell?”. This allows the user to practice verbal expression and giving explanations. It also prompts the child or adult to explain what clues they found to enable them to make an inference. TRY ALL 7 SOCIAL INFERENCING ACTIVITIES FEELINGS - Understand emotions from facial expressions, body language, and context. JOBS - Work out someone’s job from visual clues.

Prepare with Confidence for the Multiplication Tables Check (Eligible for Schools Volume Purchasing Discount) Designed specifically to mirror the Department for Education's official Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) specification, this app is the perfect tool to help Year 4 pupils master their times tables and build essential fluency. Whether your child is preparing for the statutory assessment or simply wants to sharpen their multiplication skills, this app provides a focused, engaging, and fully customisable learning experience. Key Features: • True-to-Test Practice: Every test follows the same structure and timing used in the real MTC, including the 6-second time limit and automatic progression—perfect for building both speed and confidence. • Practice Mode: Warm up with short sets of questions in practice mode before starting a full test. Ideal for getting comfortable with the pace. • Custom Tests: Select specific tables (2–12) and choose how many questions to attempt. Great for targeted practice and adapting to individual learning needs. • Instant Feedback: Answers are automatically marked, and results are displayed immediately at the end of each test. • Progress Tracking: Review past results with clear breakdowns and a visual progress chart to show improvement over time. • Fully Customisable Interface: Personalise background colours, fonts, and keypad colour to suit your preferences or accessibility needs. • Motivational Countdown: Add excitement and focus with an optional countdown screen before each test begins. • iPad and iPhone Optimised: Enjoy a responsive layout and smooth performance on both devices. • No Ads, No Distractions: 100% child-friendly and focused on learning. Why It Works: This app has been built from the ground up with the classroom in mind. It provides a familiar testing format, removes unnecessary distractions, and gives children regular, structured practice that boosts recall, speed, and confidence. While tailored for Year 4 learners, it's equally valuable for younger children starting out or older children looking to consolidate their multiplication knowledge. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or tutor, this app is the perfect companion to ensure every child is ready for the MTC and beyond.
