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.
New words are introduced and learnt before learners read the story of Thomas. Thomas leaves his home and friends to follow the advice of strangers. This leads to his death. The life cycle of frogs is studied in this module.
Learners are exposed to a mindmap of creatures in the forest.
Integration of themes.
Learners should heed the warnings of friends and parents and be careful of strangers.
Keep ponds, rivers clean because of the creatures that inhabit them.
By studying the life cycle of the frog learners become aware of the wonder of nature and their responsibility towards it.

One day two wild geese came to the pond.
They liked the little pond.
They became great friends with Thomas.
They told Thomas about strange places over the mountains.
“We live in a beautiful cave by the seaside,” they said.
“Oh! “ said Thomas, “I would like to see the sea.
“Come with us,” said the wild geese.
“We will show you all these beautiful places.”
“But I don’t have wings!”
“We will take you. We have a plan,” they said.
