Home Learning Expectations

At Elworth Hall, we value our parents support in all that we do. Home Learning is to consolidate all that we do in school. 

Reading:  Year 3

The children in Year 3 use daily reading sessions to develop their skills in fluency and comprehension.  We regularly use the reading assessment tool from our reading scheme - Collins Big Cat to help teachers understand what level their pupils are reading at. This assessment explicitly assesses pupil’s instructional and independent reading levels using unseen, meaningful texts. Children are assessed by staff, as and when appropriate, to determine their book band. Children will bring home a banded reading book from school to read at home. Across school we use the Collins Big Cat Reading and Phonics Scheme.

Reading MUST be recorded in the children's Reading Records at least 5 times a week.
