Description
This is the fifth of a new range of reading books, the Childrens Readers: Grade 3. These books form part of the Key Links series, aligned to the CAPS curriculum. Grade 3 children explore a greater number of books, with longer and more complex words and sentences. The more they read, the more fluent their reading skills become. Their vocabulary, comprehension and pronunciation improves. These real-life stories focus on subjects that will encourage them to dream of adventure and challenge, prompting them to try the next one.
When necessary, the teacher will sit with the individual children to ensure they are following the preview prompt panel correctly. However, children at this level tend to read alone more often and know how to use the preview prompt panel.
The six books cover a variety of subjects.
All the books use true-to-life visuals and are contextually accurate. The titles listed below increase in complexity and range from the medium level reader to that of the more advanced.
- The Junk Raft Journey – tells the story of how there is too much plastic in the ocean and how we can keep it clean.
- A Real Tree House – describes how some people built their home in a tree and they live there without electricity.
