About the KS2 Reading Comprehension Book 3 (Ages 7-11)

KS2 Reading Comprehension Book 3 from Schofield and Sims gives your Year 3 to Year 6 child (ages 7–11) a clear route to confident, independent reading and deeper comprehension skills. Each extract is carefully chosen to spark interest and widen vocabulary, while structured questions teach pupils how to find literal meaning, make inferences and recognise how writers use language. Online answers are available free from the publisher's website, so you can check your child's work quickly and keep track of progress.

Inside you'll find classic adventure stories from Roald Dahl, Mark Twain, Anthony Buckeridge and Kenneth Grahame, a biography of Falklands soldier Simon Weston, autobiographical writing from Jacqueline Wilson, persuasive text from Emmeline Pankhurst, evocative poems by Lewis Carroll and Robert Browning, a teenage letter by Robert Louis Stevenson, and introductions to Tolkien and Shakespeare. Every text is followed by questions that encourage your child to look for complex meanings, deductions and literary devices — skills that underpin success across the English National Curriculum.

Your child will move confidently from straightforward retrieval to critical thinking, building reading stamina and vocabulary alongside exam technique. The mix of fiction, non-fiction and poetry mirrors the variety they'll meet in SATs and classroom assessment, while clear layout and accessible language mean children can work independently or with your light support. The result is a pupil who reads with curiosity, answers with precision and approaches comprehension tasks calmly.
