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.
And so the forest was filled with
mammals, insects, spiders, reptiles
and worms of every kind.
The sky was filled with beautiful
birds, butterflies, dragonflies and
all kinds of creatures with wings.
The waters were filled with
fish of every kind.
They all lived happily together
until ........................................
one day .......................................??
How well did you listen?
1. Is the sky going to fall?
2. Is there going to be a flood?
3. What do you think is going to happen?

Title
Monkeys are always so smart and funny
as they laugh and swing in the trees
they eat berries and fruit and honey from bees
but they never stop to say, “Please”.
Crocodiles have such huge, large jaws
their teeth are so big, and sharp and strong
they float in the water down by the river
and sometimes they look like logs.
The dragonflies flit over river reeds
their beautiful wings shine so bright
they sparkle and shine like the stars above
in the light on a bright moonlight night.
