READING RANK III: ORANGE BELT

Welcome to our Level III: Orange Belt Reading Course, designed for emerging readers who are ready to deepen their understanding of phonics and expand their vocabulary! This course focuses on more complex word structures, enhancing reading fluency, and developing comprehension skills through engaging activities and targeted lessons.


Key Components

1. Consonant Blends at the End

Students will begin by exploring consonant blends that appear at the end of words, including "ll," "ff," "ss," "zz," "ck," and "tch." Through examples such as "fill," "full," and "mass," learners will develop their ability to recognize and pronounce these blends in various contexts. Interactive reading exercises will help reinforce their understanding and usage of these sounds.

2. Understanding the Suffix -ing

Next, learners will focus on the suffix "-ing," which is used to indicate ongoing actions. Words like "jumping" will be introduced, allowing students to practice identifying and using this suffix in sentences. This section emphasizes verb forms and encourages students to express actions in a dynamic way, enhancing their writing skills.

3. Exploring Complex Word Patterns

Students will delve into words containing specific patterns such as "ild," "old," "ost," "ind," and "olt." Through targeted activities, they will learn to decode these patterns, expanding their vocabulary and improving their reading comprehension. Examples like "wild," "gold," "lost," "find," and "bolt" will be used to illustrate these sounds in context.

4. Mastering ng and nk Words

Finally, learners will explore words that contain the sounds "ng" and "nk." This section will include words such as "sing" and "bank." Students will practice recognizing these sounds in different word positions, enhancing their phonemic awareness and reading fluency.

* Recognize and articulate consonant blends at the end of words.
