Module 3 | PROFESSIONAL | Single-User Licence is suitable for speech pathologists, learning support specialists and private tutors. In Complete Module 3, children start to expand on the English code by adding consonants to all three syllable types mastered so far in the Read3 program - 'closed', 'open' and 'silent e' - creating longer single and 2-syllable words. They will continue to add morphemes such as s/es, ed, er and ing to longer words. Tricky spelling patterns like 'tch' and 'dge' are also covered in this module.
Read3 integrates systematic synthetic phonics instruction with targeted phonemic awareness and fluency training to build a strong reading foundation for children with multiple processing difficulties. We use fun, multi-sensory activities and games to keep children motivated and engaged. For reading outcomes, a minimum of 5 sessions per week (20 minutes per session) is recommended. Children should then apply this learning for an additional 10 minutes a day using decodable readers. Progress is monitored daily to determine when the child is ready to move to the next step.
Estimated time to complete Module 3: 2-3 months (remembering mastery is the aim and every child is different).
Content overview for Complete Module 3
There are 2 Steps in Module 3. These are:
- Step 1 : adding consonants to single-syllable words containing short vowel sounds. Lesson 1 adds consonants to the rime ending (list, camp, walk). Lesson 2 adds consonant to the onset (plan, grip, black). Lesson 3 adds consonants to the onset and rime (clamp, plant, strength). Your child will now be able to read words containing 4, 5 and 6 sounds. Extension activities include the 'tch' spelling pattern (match, clutch) and triple blends (string, scrap).
- Step 2 : adding consonants to words containing long vowel sounds. This includes both single and multi-syllable words. The focus is on the long vowel syllable types already mastered in Module 2 (open and silent e). Your child will also start reading and writing 2-syllable words containing consonant blends. Extension activities include 'dge', 'nge' and 'nce' spelling patterns.
The program steps are sequential and skills development builds throughout the module. As a general guide, within each step your child will:
- practise unique reading and spelling strategies designed to support children with multiple processing difficulties
- fine-tune listening skills by identifying, deleting and/or substituting sounds in longer words
- start reading words containing 4, 5 and 6 sounds
- write sentences containing longer words from three syllable types
- build automatic recall of sound segments that occur naturally in our language and link them to spelling patterns for efficient reading and spelling recall
- build a bank of high-frequency words linked to lesson content
Read3's integrated approach means children will be strengthening sound awareness, spelling patterns, reading and spelling accuracy and reading fluency within every practice session. Video lessons explore key concepts to build understanding so staff can assist each child with confidence.
Developed by experienced Speech Pathologist Robyn Monaghan, the strategies have proven effective when teaching children with multiple processing difficulties including: poor phonological awareness, poor working memory, poor letter-sound knowledge and poor rapid automatic naming.
