Reading for meaning
In Year 3, we have reading for meaning sessions three times per week. This is where we explore a text and consider it through using reading skills, known to the children are VIPERS. (see below)
Where possible, we link our reading for meaning texts to the topic or genre.
| Aut 1 | Aut 2 | Spr 1 | Spr 2 | Sum 1 | Sum 2 |
The Hodgeheg
| The Story of Tutankhamun | Fantastic Mr Fox | The Iron Man | Emil and the detectives | Emil and the detectives
Volcanoes Science text |
Wherever possible this year, our English curriculum objectives will be taught in a cross-curricular approach linked to our History and Geography work.
Our reading for meaning sessions will also, sometimes, link to topic themes but we also ensure children experience a range of texts and genres when reading and writing in Year 3.
