3. Reading scrap Books 4. Reading Tasks(for every story you read)

Reading is not just about reading books; it’s about being

able to read everything you see.

For example; magazines, newspapers, letters, greeting

cards, leaflets, menus, road signs, banners etc. So next

time you see something interesting that you read, come

home and draw it or write about in your scrap book. If

you were able to pick something up like a menu, leaflet or

article; stick it in your scrap book. Discuss your findings

with your parents.

Write on a piece of paper and stick in your scrap books;

Who was your favorite character and why?

Retell the story in your own words.

What problems did the characters face in the story

and how did they solve the problems?

What was your favorite part of the story?

Did any of the characters do anything wrong?

What was the reason for their action?

What would you like to ask the characters?

Did you like the story or not? Explain why?

5. Word Detective 6. I am an author

Whenever you read; you will always find words which

you don’t understand. So, jot them down and look them

up in the dictionary. If you still don’t understand, try

looking for a synonym for that word which may help you.

But remember synonyms cannot always replace that word.

Nouns, proper nous (always begin with a capital letter),

verbs, adverbs, homophones and adjectives. After reading

your story, try remembering these words and jot them

down.

You’ve worked really hard all summer, reading stories and

collecting all that fabulous information. So, Let’s put it all

to use.

You will be an author and write your own story; Think

about all the stories you read and look through the things

you have gathered in your scrap book for inspiration.

Now, sit and think carefully how to begin your story, what

could be the middle and then the end. Think about the

moral. Present the story as a book with illustrations. Don’t

forget to bring your scrap book and story to school.

Grade III

2

Read as many books as possible; moreover replace half of your television time with reading and most

importantly, enjoy what you read and retell the stories to your friends and family! You will become fluent in

reading and an intelligent person In Shaa Allah.
