Reading
Please read with your child at least five times a week. Sign their reading diary each time and your child can earn a merit every week!
Bug Club is our online reading resource and is a great way to build comprehension skills by reading the texts, answering questions and earning reward points to play games and buy prizes! On Century, there are also further opportunities for comprehension for the children to have a go at.

In Year 3, we study the following books throughout the year. We kindly ask that you avoid reading these in advance to ensure the most can be made out of in-school activities related to these texts.
