A visit to Bishop’s Wood Outdoor centre linked to the Stone Age (Spring)

In Year 3, your child is encouraged to become an independent reader. Book choices are monitored, but the children are learning to choose ‘best fit’ texts. If your child requires targeted support, they will be heard daily.   The children will also participate in text-led tasks during the week. There is a focus on reading comprehensions and the children understanding what authors may infer in texts. The children read a range of texts as a class, providing further opportunities for us to monitor and assess your child’s reading.

Please make sure that your child brings their reading book and diary into school each day.
