What the questions test at Class 3 level
The questions on these passages cover main idea, simple inference, and vocabulary in context. That mix matters: a child who can find a name in a line of text may still be unable to say what the passage was about, and only one of those shows up in a school examination.
If your child can answer every question here but struggles with their own textbook, photograph the textbook page instead — BrainyLeo builds the same kind of questions from whatever your child is actually studying.
