English — Class 3

CBSE (Indian Curriculum) · Ages 8-9

CBSE Class 3 English introduces the NCERT reader alongside a supplementary text and expects genuine independent reading. Children read longer stories and poems, infer meaning that is not stated directly, and explain why characters behave as they do.

Writing becomes structured into short paragraphs with a clear beginning and end, and includes picture composition, informal letters and short descriptions. Grammar covers tenses, articles, prepositions, conjunctions and punctuation.
