READING for Year 3
Create your own READING MATERIAL
Too difficult? NO! It doesn't have to be perfect, and the children love to read stories about themselves or someone they know, or even someone who is similar to them. We don't have to get bogged down with non-fictional content and traditional stories only.
Firstly, have a look at the Little Books that you can make. Start simple, and build up to pop-up books. The children can make up their own stories and write them, or tell you their stories and you write them, or you can make up stories about them and put them in a little book.
Then make a Big Book, copying the little book, so that you can do Shared Reading as an activity, reading it together.
On the Year 1 Reading page is an example of a Pop-Up little book that you can print out and help each child to make - and read - and copy into a Big Book as well. In year 2 you could still use it, and/or change and adapt it.

There is more along these lines on the website: Stories for Malaysian Kids.
