Understanding Your Child's Level

When your child gets started with Kinetic Education, our English tutors begin by identifying their current level against the Australian Curriculum. This helps us understand the skills they've mastered and where they need the most support right now. From there, we create a personalised learning plan tailored to your child's needs.

Personalised Learning Plans

Your child's personalised learning plan is delivered weekly and can be completed at home on a tablet or computer. New 20-minute English lessons are added based on your child's progress, helping keep learning at the right level and supporting a consistent learning routine.

Proven Progress

As your child strengthens their foundations, you'll see them build skills and confidence in reading and writing, and keep moving forward at a pace that feels right for them.

English Tutor Support

Every family is matched with an English tutor who oversees their child's personalised learning plan and progress. Tutors also provide additional support with writing tasks, including planning, structure, grammar, punctuation and feedback on each draft.

Year 3 English: What's Covered and How We Help

Year 3 English covers a range of skills across the Australian Curriculum. The overview below shows some of the key areas introduced during the year, and how Kinetic Education can support your child with them. Every child starts from a different point, so their personalised learning plan is tailored to their current level and continues to adapt based on their progress and results.

This means your child is always working through curriculum-aligned lessons, at a pace that suits them.

Area
What Year 3 English Covers
How Kinetic Helps
Reading comprehension
Reading short texts such as stories, recipes and information texts, then answering questions to show understanding.
Lessons help your child build comprehension by understanding the content in their English activities, identifying key information and answering questions about what they have learned.
Spelling patterns
Long vowel spelling patterns, such as words with ay, a-e, i-e and o-e, and common consonant blends.
Spelling patterns are introduced in small groups with plenty of practice, so your child can build accuracy and confidence.
Grammar and punctuation
Full stops, question marks, exclamation marks, commas in lists, proper nouns, speech marks and apostrophes.
Each rule is explained clearly with examples, then practised until it becomes familiar.
Writing skills
Narrative and persuasive writing structure, using synonyms instead of overused words, and an early introduction to similes and metaphors.
Your child builds writing confidence step by step, starting with structure before adding more descriptive language.
Sentence structure and grammar
Common nouns, pronouns, and beginning to use tense consistently within a sentence.
Clear explanations and guided practice help your child use grammar correctly in their own writing.
NAPLAN skills
Reading, writing and conventions of language questions similar to what children may see in NAPLAN.
We focus on strengthening the English skills behind the questions, so your child feels more prepared.

Melanie

After years of struggling with maths, Melanie’s daughter boosted her grades and confidence in just a few months with Kinetic Education. She has made so much progress that her new teacher didn’t even realise she had struggled with maths in the past.

Louise

Louise’s daughters started the school year feeling anxious to go to class, worried they wouldn’t understand maths concepts. But in just 4 months, their confidence has grown, and they are now happy to go to maths classes at school. Not only this, but their school reports and grades have boosted, but most importantly their confidence has too!

Rosie

Rosie came to Kinetic Education looking for support for her two children, who both needed completely different support. Her daughter was really struggling with maths, and homework time was always stressful, while her son was one step ahead at school and starting to feel bored. With support from us, Rosie’s daughter is now able to work through new concepts confidently, and her son gets the challenges he needs to stay one step ahead.

Year 3 English Tutoring Starts with Identifying Your Child's Level

When your child gets started with Kinetic Education, we begin by identifying where they are currently working in English, including reading comprehension, spelling, grammar and writing. This helps us see where they may need more practice and where they are ready to move ahead. From there, we create a personalised weekly learning plan, so your child can work through the curriculum at the right pace for them.

Personalised learning

We update your child's learning plan with new English activities for the week, selected based on their progress each week. Your child's learning plan is structured around three learning stages: Revision and Catch-Up, Consolidation, and Extension.

Skip to end of cards

Revision and Catch-Up

When your child first starts with Kinetic Education, their learning plan targets the areas they need the most support with. For Year 3 students, this may include revisiting sight words, early sentence writing, letter sounds or basic punctuation before moving into more complex work.

Consolidation

Once their foundations are stronger, your child practises the skills being covered in Year 3 English. This may include spelling patterns, grammar and punctuation, narrative and persuasive writing structure, and reading comprehension.

Extension

When your child is feeling confident in Year 3 English, we give them the opportunity to move one step ahead, including working beyond their current year level while still moving at a pace that works for them.

Real English Tutors for Year 3 Students

Year 3 can be a big year for many families, especially with NAPLAN introduced for the first time. When your family joins Kinetic Education, you are matched with a tutor who helps your child get off to a strong start, while overseeing their personalised learning plan and keeping an eye on their progress each week. Each activity is designed to teach your child, give them instant feedback and help them build confidence as they move through the curriculum.

Our English tutors also provide additional support with writing tasks. If your child is working on a piece of writing, their tutor can give feedback on planning, structure, grammar, punctuation and clarity, helping them improve their next draft with confidence.

Our tutors are also here for parents. You can speak with your tutor about your child's learning needs, progress and weekly reports, so you know how they are going and what they are working on next.

Tutor support includes:

  • A dedicated English tutor matched with your family
  • Oversight of your child's personalised learning plan
  • Feedback on writing tasks, including planning, structure, grammar, punctuation and clarity
  • Guidance for parents on progress, learning needs and weekly reports

Rewards

We know that sometimes children don't understand why they need to do extra English work at home, and they might need a bit of extra motivation. That's why every child enrolled with us gets to experience our unique rewards system.

Here's how it works: your child earns points after every English activity, which they can save up and swap for real rewards like Smiggle, Myer, and WISH gift cards.

Supporting Your Child Through Year 3 NAPLAN

Year 3 is the first time children take part in NAPLAN, which can make this year feel a little different for families. At Kinetic Education, we help children strengthen the English skills they use across the curriculum, including reading, writing and conventions of language, so they can approach NAPLAN with confidence.

Most of Year 3 NAPLAN (reading, conventions of language and numeracy) is completed online, while the writing test remains paper-based nationally. Our digital learning environment helps children become more comfortable reading, working through and answering questions in a digital format for the online sections. Their weekly lesson plan gives them regular practice with interactive activities, clear explanations and instant feedback, while still focusing on real reading and writing understanding.

Skill-building first

We focus on the English skills behind the questions, including reading comprehension, spelling, grammar and writing structure.

Support at the Right Level

Your child's personalised learning plan is tailored to their needs and set at a level that suits them, with clear explanations, instant feedback and tutor support when they need it.

Online learning practice

As your child completes activities online, they become more familiar with reading, working through and answering questions in a digital format, while strengthening the skills they need for Year 3 English.

Support beyond the test

The goal is stronger reading and writing understanding, not just NAPLAN practice. Your child's personalised learning plan helps them keep building skills throughout the year, at a pace that suits them.

Give Your Child the Support They Need to Feel Confident in English 

When children are finding reading or writing hard, it can affect more than their schoolwork. It can impact their confidence, motivation and willingness to try.

Kinetic Education helps children rebuild confidence by starting at the level that is right for them. Through personalised learning and real tutor support, your child can strengthen key English skills, close learning gaps and feel more capable as they move through Year 3.

Wonderful resource for extra help!

I have my two 8 year old daughters (grade 3) using the tutoring program with Kinetic Education and while they are both similar in their needs, each of their programs are individually suited. The work is just tricky enough to allow them to further their knowledge and development in the areas that they need help with, yet not so hard that they feel deflated because they can't do it. My girls feel confident doing their lessons and can do them quite independently. They are also seeing the similarities from the tutoring lessons to those that they are doing in class. This online tutoring program allows for families to be able to work your child's tutoring into busy schedules, doing them at their own pace. The tutors are always available if extra help is needed and they consitently follow up with families about your child's progress and needs.

Improvement and excitement through the program!

My son was falling behind in English half way through grade 3 when we started Kinetic - I chose to do both English and maths so it wouldn’t be too difficult to get him to do the work. The reward system is amazing and so motivating. He comes home every night and does Kinetic before his school homework as is so engaging and I don't have to do a thing as tutors and the program guides the learning so well. My son is now about to start grade 5 work in English and feels so much more confident at school and is so proud of himself and we only started the program one year ago. Highly recommend and feel confident that he is now excelling and loves English at school. Well done team.

Kinetic Education has been a game changer for my kids.

Kinetic Education has been a game changer for my kids, aged 11 (Year 6) and 8 (Year 3). Both have shown excellent improvement in their academics since starting the program. The structured lessons are tailored to each child's individual needs, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. My kids find the learning experience fun and engaging, and it never feels like a burden. Highly recommend Kinetic Education for any parent looking to support their children's education!

Year 3 English Tutoring FAQs

Is Year 3 a good time to start English tutoring?

Yes. Year 3 is a great time to understand where your child is up to, especially as writing and comprehension tasks become more involved and NAPLAN is introduced for the first time. Starting support in Year 3 can help children build confidence, strengthen key skills and keep moving forward at a pace that suits them.

What does a typical week look like for a Year 3 student?

Your child's learning plan is updated with new English activities for the week. The lessons are designed to take around 15 to 20 minutes a day, short enough to fit around school, sport and family life, but consistent enough to make a real difference over time. Your child works through their activities on a tablet or computer, at whatever time works best for your family. Each lesson includes clear explanations, examples and instant feedback, so your child isn't just practising, they're learning as they go. You'll also receive a weekly progress report so you can see exactly what they worked on and how they went.

What if my child is finding Year 3 English hard?

We check your child's English skills to understand where they may need more support and where they are ready to move ahead. From there, their personalised weekly learning plan is matched to their level, helping them strengthen key skills and build confidence as they continue through the curriculum.

What if my child is already confident in Year 3 English?

Kinetic Education can support children who are ready for extension too. If your child is confident with their current work, their personalised learning plan can move them into more challenging activities so they can keep progressing.

Can Kinetic Education help with Year 3 NAPLAN?

Yes. Kinetic Education helps children strengthen the English skills they may use during NAPLAN, including reading comprehension, writing and conventions of language such as spelling, grammar and punctuation. We focus on building real understanding, while also helping children become more comfortable working through questions in a digital format.
