NCERT Class 3 English
Class 3 English: Santoor chapter-wise practice
Santoor has longer stories and poems, and the questions start asking why a character did something. Short comprehension questions, vocabulary from the chapter itself and simple grammar in context check that your child has understood. Nothing comes from outside the book, so the words your child meets here are the ones the teacher will ask about.

Where does the study time go?
By Class 3 the day fills up quickly: school, the bus or van ride, homework, maybe a dance or cricket class. There is hardly any time left to go over what was taught that day, and weekends disappear into birthday parties and errands. Fifteen focused minutes on the right topic does more than an hour spent flipping through a guide book.
Tuition is fine, and plenty of children need it. But a tutor with eight or ten children in one batch cannot sit with each of them, and cannot always keep track of what the school did that week. Sometimes the tuition follows its own order of chapters, the child ends up juggling two plans for the same subject, and the confusion shows up in the next test.
NoTuition.in gives that small window some shape: the chapter your child is doing in school, a short activity, practice that explains every mistake, and a clear view for you of what needs work.
