Year 3 English Workbook Week beginning 1st June 2020
In our English lessons this term we are continuing to practise our spelling, sentence writing, grammar and punctuation so that we can become more accurate and fluent readers and writers.
How to use this workbook
When you are working through the questions in this workbook, remember:
1. To write your answers in your best handwriting in your home learning / exercise / notebook.
Don’t try to answer the questions in boxes in the workbook.
2. “Blue box is book” = The blue boxes are there to show you what to write / say and how to set out your
work / ideas. Anything in the blue boxes is what you write in your book.
Don’t write the black, write the blue – but without drawing the box round it!
3. When you are answering reading comprehension questions, you should always answer in complete
thoughts (full sentences) and use the exact words from the text to prove your answer.
The blue boxes will show you how…

portfolio.
