Year 3 English moves beyond basic literacy into deeper comprehension and more structured writing. Your child will learn to read between the lines and express ideas clearly in different text types.
Key Topics Covered:
Reading fluency and comprehension, informative and narrative writing, parts of speech, persuasive language basics, poetry appreciation, and spelling through word families.
Parent Tip:
Year 3 is a national assessments year for literacy too. The best preparation is strong reading habits and regular writing practice, both of which we build into every session.

| S.No | Topic | What We Cover |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Sound Blends & Patterns | Focus on reading and spelling multisyllabic words using consonant blends and digraphs. Sound patterns are examined within and across syllables to support decoding. Blending and segmenting strategies are applied to unfamiliar words. Practice strengthens spelling accuracy and reading confidence. |
| 02 | Prefixes & Suffixes Power | Exploration of how prefixes and suffixes change the meaning and form of base words. Word families are built to support vocabulary growth and decoding. Spelling generalisations for adding suffixes are applied. Understanding morphemes supports comprehension of new words. |
| 03 | Strong Words: Modal Verbs & Emotions | Focus on how modal verbs express degrees of certainty, obligation, and possibility. Emotional and evaluative language is explored to show judgement of characters and events. Comparisons highlight how word choice changes tone. Vocabulary for expressing opinions and feelings is expanded. |
| 04 | High-Frequency & Tricky Words | Recognition and spelling of high-frequency and irregular words, including homophones. Context clues are used to select correct spellings. Visual and sentence-based strategies support accuracy. Automatic recognition is reinforced through practice. |
| 05 | Building Sentences | Examination of clauses containing a subject and verb. Focus on subject–verb agreement in sentences. Singular and plural verb forms are compared. Accurate agreement is practised to improve sentence clarity. |
| 06 | Types of Verbs | Exploration of doing, thinking, feeling, saying, and relating verbs. Verb choice is linked to meaning in sentences. Examples from texts show how verbs reveal actions and emotions. Understanding verb types supports clearer expression. |
| 07 | Verb Tense Time Machine | Focus on past, present, and future tense forms. Verb changes and time words are examined together. Tense consistency is linked to meaning and clarity. Accurate use of tense is reinforced in sentences. |
| 08 | Paragraph Power | Exploration of paragraphs as a way to group related ideas. Topic sentences are identified and linked to supporting details. Examples show how paragraphs develop meaning. Logical organisation is emphasised. |
| 09 | Images Tell Stories | Examination of how images extend meaning beyond words. Visual features such as facial expression, size, position, and gaze are analysed. Relationships and emotions are interpreted through images. Visual literacy supports deeper comprehension. |
| 10 | Term Review & Assessment (+ handwriting) | Consolidation of phonics, grammar, reading, and handwriting skills. Integrated tasks apply multiple skills together. Accuracy and fluency are reviewed. Reflection supports readiness for the next term. |
