Grade 3 Curriculum
Grade 3 Curriculum
Letterland Grade Three builds on previous phonics and spelling instruction to develop sophisticated word knowledge. Students grow their understanding of morphology, vocabulary, and word structure — developing the academic language skills needed across all subject areas and fostering a genuine interest in words and language.
“Children who received the explicit instruction with Letterland learned almost twice as many letter sounds.”— Roberts, 2021, p.7
