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 extends the methods developed in previous grades. The spirit, content, and pedagogical practices are reviewed and enriched. Our teaching approach places strong emphasis on oral expression, which remains the foundation 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, engaging, and illustrated reading texts: narrative, informative, injunctive, and descriptive texts.
- Illustrative supports in the margins to clarify difficult words.
- Linguistic, grammar, general knowledge, and artistic activities that ensure effective learning of oral and written French while stimulating critical thinking and creativity.
- Motivating and interactive learning tools that actively 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 includes the following activities:
- One or two pages dedicated to oral expression.
- One or two reading texts. They are accompanied by explanations 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 the world around them.
- 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 included in the book.
