Stage 3 takes learners beyond the fundamentals into advanced grammar, deeper reading skills and polished writing across many text types. It comes in two books, one for Grade 5 and one for Grade 6. Together they have 314 pages and 131 lessons.

Each lesson is labelled by skill (Reading, Writing, Grammar, Spelling or Punctuation). Each book opens with grammar, punctuation and spelling reviews so learners can refresh last year’s skills, and closes with a “My Best Work” lesson that showcases their growth.
