Letterland Grade Three facilitates students growth in word knowledge by building on previous learning in phonics, spelling, and word structure and applying that knowledge to learning more sophisticated words that occur in academic subjects across the curriculum, fostering a greater interest in words and language.

Step-by-Step 20-30 minute sessions for whole-class work with optional independent extension activities. The short, daily sessions allow you to incorporate spelling, word structure and vocabulary expansion into your literacy block.
The pull-out Blueprints form the framework of your daily lessons and allow you to match your student's needs. The Blueprints include brief instruction for each activity and include scaffolding suggestions to provide more support when needed and more challenge when children are ready.
Every class is different, and there are many ways to learn. For every Unit, we provide optional Day 4 exercises that can be selected from an extensive range of downloadable resources. The multi-sensory exercises encourage students to move around the room using manipulatives – bringing their learning to life!
Essential previous Grades phonic and word recognition concepts (e.g. Syllabification) are reinforced from the start. Reminders of the Letterland characters and stories are provided for those who have used Letterland at previous Grade Levels, but the Grade Three teaching does not rely on previous knowledge of Letterland.
The weekly Unit passages provide vital reading practice and allow children to see and use their word study and spelling skills in a wide range of subjects across the curriculum.
"Children who received the explicit instruction with...[Letterland] learned almost twice as many letter sounds."
— Roberts, 2021, p.7
