Level 3 Literacy Essentials: Read Deeply. Write Beautifully. Speak with Confidence.

Give your student more than another language arts course; give them the tools to understand great ideas, express their own, and communicate with confidence.

Level 3 Literacy Essentials is a rich, literature-based course built around ten unforgettable classics. It is aimed at students aged 14-17. From the Western courage of Bendigo Shafter to the redemptive hope of A Christmas Carol, the moral questions of The Pearl, and the resilience portrayed in Unbroken, students will encounter stories that stay with them long after the final page.

Reading is only the beginning, however.

Throughout the course, students will learn to craft compelling short stories, develop believable characters, explore poetry, and try their hand at scriptwriting. They will discover how authors use words to create emotion, build suspense, reveal truth, and draw readers into a story.

Just as importantly, Level 3 Literacy Essentials helps students use language beyond the page. Through thoughtful discussion and guided writing, they will learn how to share their ideas clearly, engage with others respectfully, and communicate with poise and grace.
