If your child is in Year 2 (in England) or Primary 3 (in Scotland), he or she is probably moving from a reader of words and sentences to a reader of books. You are probably good friends with their programme and reading scheme. Over the course of this year, you will probably see your child learning some of the more unusual spelling patterns and an ever-increasing list of both tricky words and common words. Your child is on their way to being a fluent reader with growing comprehension skills.

If you live in England, your child will take their Key Stage 1 SATs. The tests include maths and English sections, as well as two reading papers. To find out about the SATs and how you can help your child prepare, visit our Key Stage 1 SATs page.

How to help at home

There are lots of ways you can help your child with reading in Year 2/Primary 3.
