Inside Collection (Course): English First Additional Language Grade 3
In Grade 3 learners continue to expand their vocabulary by listening and reading a variety of texts such as poem, stories, riddles and doing word puzzles.
These modules consolidate and revise the vocabulary and phonics introduced in Grade 2. More opportunities are given for written work producing longer texts of more varied kinds. Learners should not be afraid to make mistakes as the building of confidence and fluency should take priority above perfect written work.
Time scheduled for the modules
All learners should work through all eight modules as the phonics and spelling requirements are spread over these modules. The educator should however allow learners to complete them at their own pace namely ± two modules per term.
Learners distinguish between sh and ch sounds and spell common words correctly. The sounds “oo”, “th”, “ea”, “all”, “y” and “ay” are also introduced. They are given an opportunity to write sentences/ a story without the help of a frame and to look up the meaning of words in a dictionary.
Learners discuss the issue of the monkeys making fun of Baby Zebra who was born without stripes.
Everyone is unique and their differences should be respected and not made fun of.
Everyone has rights – even the handicapped.

drank water at the banks of the flowing river.

ate the sweet green twigs on the trees.
They bathed in the cool waters of the flowing river.
