Leveled reading
By the end of the Year 3 school year, a student will probably reach around Level 20. However each child is different, and students progress at different rates. What is important is that the student reaches their potential, and has plenty of exposure to literature at their own reading level. See the Beacon Media Primary Literacy page for a range of Leveled stories.

Writing Assessment: Make a folder of your child’s writing samples, in chronological order, so that you can see their progress.
The main goal for F – 3 is to learn to read. Thereafter, the student can read to learn.
