KS3 Reading FAQs
What year groups are in KS3?
KS3 usually includes Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 in the UK (ages 11–14).
What is the difference between KS2 and KS3 Reading?
KS2 focuses on developing core comprehension (retrieval, vocabulary, inference, summarising). KS3 builds on this by adding deeper analysis, interpretation and comparison skills.
Do parents need to be involved?
Parents create and manage the account. Pupils can complete guided sessions independently, while parents support consistency and progress.
