YEAR THREE O TRACK ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES ENGLISH & MATHS Year Three end of year expectations: WRITING - Handwriting: I use the diagonal and horizontal strokes that are needed to join letters. I understand which letters, when adjacent to one another, are best left unjoined. I have increased the legibility, consistency and quality of my handwriting. WRITING COMPOSITION: I can plan using different genre models and know the structure of that writing. I can plan my writing by discussing and recording ideas. I can compose and rehearse sentences orally (including dialogue), progressively building a varied and rich vocabulary and an increasing range of sentence structures. I can draft and write in narratives, creating settings, characters and plot. I can draft and write in non-narrative form, using simple organisational devices [for example, headings and sub-headings]. I can evaluate and edit by assessing the effectiveness of my own and others' writing and suggesting improvements. I can evaluate and edit by proposing changes to grammar and vocabulary to improve consistency, including the accurate use of pronouns in sentences. I can proof-read for spelling and punctuation errors. I can read aloud my own writing, to a group or the whole class, using appropriate intonation and controlling the tone and volume so that the meaning is clear.

I can spell words with ch sound k, sound sh - scheme, chorus, echo, chef, chalet, machine. I can spell words ending in gue and que - league, tongue, antique. I can spell words sc sound s - science, scene. I can spell ei and ey with sound ei - vein, weight, they, obey. I can spell further homophones - accept/except, grate/great, brake/break. I can spell words that are often misspelt (English Appendix 1 - word list Y3 and 4.) I can use the first two or three letters of a word to check its spelling in a dictionary. I can write from memory simple sentences, dictated by the teacher, that include words and punctuation taught so far. READING - word reading: I can apply my growing knowledge of root words and prefixes, both to read aloud and to understand the meaning of unfamiliar words. I can read further exception words, noting the unusual correspondences between spelling and sound, and where these occur in the word. I can apply my knowledge of root words and suffixes to read aloud and to understand the meaning of unfamiliar words.
I attempt pronunciation of unfamiliar words drawing on prior knowledge of similar looking words. READING - comprehension: increasing my familiarity with a wide range of books, including fairy stories, myths and legends, and retelling some of these orally. identifying themes and conventions in a wide range of books. preparing poems and play scripts to read aloud and to perform, showing understanding through intonation, tone, volume and action. discussing words and phrases that capture the readers interest and imagination. recognising some different forms of poetry [for example, free verse, narrative poetry.] I understand what I read, in books I can read independently, by: checking that the text makes sense, discussing my understanding.
