Grade 3 Reading Textbook – Arc-en-ciel

Grade 3 Method Presentation

This Grade 3 reading textbook is part of the “Arc-en-ciel” collection. 

“Arc-en-ciel” for Grade 3 is an extension of our methods from previous grades. The spirit, content, and pedagogical practices are thus reframed and extended. Our teaching methods emphasize oral expression. The latter is indeed the basis for learning to read and write.

The “Arc-en-ciel” collection for Grade 3 is based on the following methodological principles:

• Priority given to oral expression.
• Short, interesting, and illustrated reading texts: narrative, informative, injunctive, and descriptive texts.
• Illustrative supports in the margin of the texts explain difficult words. 
• Linguistic, grammar, general knowledge, and artistic activities ensure effective learning of oral and written French. These activities also stimulate critical thinking and creativity.
• Motivating and interactive learning tools and materials engage students in the learning process.

The “Arc-en-ciel” collection for Grade 3 is a comprehensive method to learn French. It comprises the following four components: a reading textbook, an expression workbook, a grammar workbook, and a writing copybook. This collection also comes with 9 storybooks.

Grade 3 Reading Textbook

This Grade 3 reading textbook is divided into 9 themes and 27 units (3 units per theme). 

Every unit provides the following activities:

• One or two pages encourage oral expression. 
• One or two reading texts. They are accompanied by a presentation of difficult words, a review of phonemes and graphemes, and questions. The latter help with comprehension, expression, and reflection.
• Another text (injunctive, informative, or documentary) that can be integrated into a project to be carried out, or that helps students better understand our world. 
• Songs and poems.
• An introduction to comics and their writing style.

Finally, a QR code is printed on the first page of the textbook. Children can thus listen to:

• Stories (with text, sound effects, and music).
• Role-play activities.
• Phonics.
• Songs and rhymes found in the book.
