Year 3 Reading Response Autumn Term
This year we are putting an even greater emphasis on reading,
therefore we are asking you to hear your child read at least 4 times a week.
When you hear your child read, please record this in their yellow reading
record.
In addition, below are a range of activities that we would
like you to complete with your child. Please complete one a week. When you have
completed an activity, please write the number of the activity in a circle, in
the reading record and add a short comment.
1)
Together find 10 verbs in the book and ask your
child to act them out.
2)
Together find 10 adjectives in the book and
together improve them.
3)
Together find 10 verbs and choose an adverb to
describe the verb (action) eg “ran” quickly
“sat”
silently.
4)
Ask your child to draw a picture of where the
story takes place.
5)
Together discuss an alternative ending and ask
your child to write a short version of your new ending.
6)
Ask your child to draw the main character from
the book, use the description to help you.
7)
Review a story your child enjoyed and ask them
to explain why they would recommend it to others. Discuss your favourite parts
and why.
8)
Ask your child to pick a character and describe
him/her to you. Ask your child to say whether they would be friends with that
person and why.
9)
In a non-fiction book, summarise in a few words
what 5 different paragraphs are about.
10)
Make a list of the words you did not know and
locate their meaning in a dictionary.
Remember make reading as enjoyable as possible. When you
read together encourage each other to be very expressive and use voices if you
can.
Ideally by the end of Year 3, we would like all children to
be on either ‘Pink’ or ‘Red’ level. After ‘Red’ level they will be deemed to be
a FREE reader and will be able to choose any book from the library or home to
read.
Thank you for supporting your child,
