Grade 3English Language
What your child actually learns this year
Every strand and every topic in the Grade 3 English Language curriculum, exactly as the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development sets it out. Written so you can read it in one sitting, without a teaching qualification.
1Listening and SpeakingOne topic: hearing and saying words accurately, which is still what reading rests on.
2ReadingThe largest share of the year's questions, and the strand the other subjects come to depend on: reading fluently and understanding what was read.
3Language UseFifteen topics, most of them on making the subject and the verb agree, plus pronouns, tenses and adjectives.
4WritingNine topics: handwriting, spelling, punctuation, and writing something another person can follow.
Why you can take this page at face value
Straight from the KICD design
The strands and topics on this page are the Grade 3 English Language curriculum as the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development sets it out. We have not chosen them, reordered them or left any out.
Nothing here is a sample
Every topic below is covered in our question bank, not a selection of the easy ones. The numbers beside each strand are the real counts.
Marked by a machine, written by a person
Each question carries its full working and a note on why every wrong answer is wrong, so a child who misses one is told what they were thinking, not just that they were wrong.
