Support your child with reading at home

Reading is a lifelong skill that, builds a robust vocabulary and foundation of knowledge.  In Year 3, children should be on their way to becoming a confident, fluent, independent reader. Many children who have got to grips with phonics and word-reading will shift their focus onto comprehension. Your child’s relationship with books will begin to change as they can now read for pleasure – fiction and non-fiction – or to find information they need.

Listening to your child read:

You will be able to help with any unfamiliar words to expand their vocabulary and talk to them about the book to make sure that they understand. You can talk about what has happened in the book, ponder the motives and feelings of the characters, and predict what might happen next. All this will support their developing comprehension skills.
