iRainbow’s Grade 3 Afrikaans (Afrikaans) offline educational software is a revolutionary tool designed to solidify and expand upon the linguistic foundation established in grade 2 Afrikaans. Tailored for Grade 3 learners, this edition focuses on a comprehensive revision (hersiening) of digraphs (diftonge) and consonant blends (konsonant kombinasies), alongside the introduction of more complex phonetic patterns. It navigates through advanced sound combinations, starting (begin) and ending (eindig) blends, recognising and constructing four-letter words (vier letter woorde), and understanding rhyming words (rymwoorde). Additionally, it enriches vocabulary (woordeskat) with words related to school (skool), countries (lande), sports (sportsoorte), animals (diere), verbs (werkwoorde), and interrogatives (vraagwoorde), combined with comprehensive comprehension tests (begripstoetse) and spelling exercises. Language work (taalwerk) extends into syllables (lettergrepe), proper and common nouns (selfstandige naamwoorde: Soortname en Eiename), verbs, prepositions (voorsetsels), punctuation (punktuasie), plurals (meervoude), and diminutives (verkleinings), ensuring a well-rounded advancement in Afrikaans proficiency.
