Kibow Phonics: Level 3 -Mastering Phonics with Advanced Blends and Word Families
Welcome to Level 3: Strengthening Skills and Building Independence in Reading!
In Level 3, we focus on refining reading abilities through advanced blends, word families, and vowel patterns. This level empowers your child with the skills to read more challenging words independently and improves their understanding of word structure.
What’s Inside Level 3?
Advanced Consonant Blends
Level 3 introduces more complex consonant blends like sm, sn, st, sp, and sw. Your child will learn to read words such as “small,” “snack,” “stop,” and “swim,” helping them decode words with ease and confidence.
Silent Letters
Some letters hide within words and stay silent! We explore common silent letters like “k” in “knee” and “w” in “wrist.” This helps children understand unique spelling patterns and recognize silent letters in words they encounter.
Vowel Teams and Diphthongs
In this level, we introduce vowel pairs (e.g., “ea” in “bead” or “oo” in “moon”) and diphthongs, where two vowels create a blended sound (like “ou” in “cloud” or “oi” in “boil”). Recognizing these patterns enhances reading fluency and allows your child to tackle longer words.
3rd Sight Words
With Level 3, your child will expand their sight word vocabulary, focusing on words that appear in many sentences. These include words like “thank,” “play,” and “they.” Mastering these high-frequency words builds your child’s reading speed and comprehension.
