Level 3 Entry Point Descriptor
Level 3: The reading goals in Level 3 start with CVC and CVCe words, and moves to
vowel digraphs and initial blends, digraphs blends, moving on to four and five letter
words combining all of the above. Level 3 students also learn tense: simple present,
simple past, and present progressive, while simple future was taught in Level 1.
Grammar including articles, adverbs of frequency, prepositions, noun/verb conjugation,
selected adjectives, sentence types and capitalization and punctuation rules. Level 3
speaking goals begin with the student answering in complete sentences, moving on to
compound sentences, asking questions, and finally engaging in a free talk-style
discussion with the teacher that incorporates taught sentence structures and natural
language usage.
Level 3 Unit 1 Reading: Student can read sight words, CVC words fluently.
Student reads phonics reader with confidence. Student can

Level 3 Pre-class Videos
 More videos for each unit. Each unit has 4 videos.

Video 1 aligns with lessons 1-2

Video 2 aligns with lessons 3-6

Video 3 aligns with lessons 7-8

Video 4 aligns with lessons 9-12

L2-U2-LC1-1
 The average length of each video

is 8’.

 More interesting than before.

In most videos, one video is one story.

L2-U9-LC1-1
Level 3 Computer Homework
 Each unit has 2 learning cycles with 6 lessons each (12 lessons
in total). The final lesson of each learning cycle is an
assessment class.
 The purpose of the first 5 HW lessons of the learning cycle is
review and practice. The 6th HW will be assessment. It follows
the teacher-led assessment in lesson 6.

Computer Homework Lesson 6 /12 Assessment

1. Guided practice & review, not 1. Assess student learning in areas of

assessment Reading & Writing, Social Studies &
Science, Math
2. Extend learning time 2. Supplement unit assessment
Computer Homework Activity Types

 There are 2 types of activities in the homework:

1. Interactive Review – the student is given many opportunities to

interact with the content, and they will have a chance to
correct their mistakes. The activity should guide the student to
review the material and show him/her the correct answer. These
templates will be more game-like
2. Practice – the student is only given one chance to answer the
question. They will receive feedback after they submit the
question, and they can’t re-take the question immediately. This
means we won’t see the correct/incorrect state until after
submission.

Level 3 Paper Textbook
 In Level 3, there are 4 books which cover 12 units (24 Learning
Cycles). There are 3 units(6 Learning Cycles) in each book.
 In each Learning Cycle, we covered all teaching content like
chants, vocabulary, phonics, conversation, reading, math,
grammar, my project, project presentation, writing, and
project-based learning.
 Some sample pages.
Some Tips for Teachers
 If your student is very young, you don’t need to ask them to do
too many circling activities. Although the TD asks you to, you
may still adjust your teaching method. The circling activities will
take much of your teaching time if your student isn’t able to
control the mouse very well. You can change the activity so
that you circle and the student speaks.

 You may have noticed that there is a lot of content in Level 3.

We have a specific requirements for each teaching category
of each entry point. Such as, in Units 1-6, we teach short vowels
and CVCe long vowels. We will also teach HFW recognition in
stories. Take a look at the following slides. They will be helpful
when you teach the classes.

 There are 25 PPT slides for each lesson, so the average time for
each slide is 1 minute.
 Phonics:
We teach CVCe long vowels+ HFW words with pictures for phonics
readers in units 1-6, and diphthongs in Unit 7 and blends in Units 8-11.
We will use some phonics teaching strategies to ask students to
practice, such as blending and segmenting onset and rhyming.

Unit 1 Unit 7
 Reading comprehension:
We have different theme readers in lessons 5 &11 and different phonics
readers in lessons 3 & 9 each unit. You can use some reading
comprehension techniques in all Units (Identify characters, retell story with
teacher support, sequence illustrations from story).

Unit 8
 High frequency words:
Word speed trials, spelling and dictation, identify sight words in text,
sight word project (write and illustrate a sentence for each sight word),
scrambled spelling sight words, fill in the blank sight words, pick out
sight words from that unit from a list containing some non-sight words.

Unit 8 Unit 11
 Vocabulary words:
You can find them in readers/read aloud. Not all vocab words are
introduced in one lesson. All words have a picture that explains
meaning. There are written definitions for some words.

Unit 5 Unit 7
 Sentence Patterns (SP):
Written SP on slide explicitly introducing SP along with Q/A prompt.
Teacher and student have a 1-2 minute free talk session to use
sentence phrases naturally

Unit 7 Unit 9
 Verbs:
U1-12: Explicitly taught as grammar and vocab with picture
U1, 3-6, 8-10: Taught with simple present
U2, 7: Taught as –ing verbs
U11: Taught with past tense

Unit 2 Unit 10
 Teaching grammar explicitly; check verb form understanding using
previously mastered verbs and comparing to base verb form.

Check verb form understanding Explicitly taught Adverbs of

Frequency

Unit 9 Unit 10
 Math:
-Verbal-focused, no slide shall be entirely skill-based
-Taught for language, not skill
-Word problems in story form in lessons
