Platinum English First Add language Grade 3 – Preloved Large Paperback

‘This workbook for English First Additional Language (FAL) is the newest addition to the Department of Basic Education’s Rainbow Workbook Series. The English First Additional Language books are an important enhancement of the series and support the Department’s approach to additive bilingualism. Many children start using their additional language, English, as the Language of Learning and Teaching (LoLT) in Grade 4. The switch from learning in their home language to learning in a second language means that children have to reach a high level of competence in English by the end of Grade 3 so that they are able to read and write well in English in Grade 4. The Rainbow Workbooks, in the eleven official languages from Grade 1 to Grade 6, help develop a strong literacy foundation upon which children can build in acquiring an additional language. The new FAL workbooks start by constructing a sturdy oral foundation in Grade 1 to enable learners to read and write in English in Grades 2 and 3, and thereafter’.
