English 3 has 125 regular lessons and 10 review lessons. Communication skills are taught. Understanding sentence type and structure is basic to writing sentences, and then paragraphs and stories. Sentence parts are studied, and some simple diagramming. Nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs and their correct usage are exercised. Dictionary work, capitalization and punctuation, proofreading, and communication skills round out this English course.

A booklet of 70 worksheets offers additional practice. These may be used as workbooks for all the students or as a resource for the teacher to select and copy the ones needed.

A test booklet provides a test for each of the 5 units.

The teacher's manual gives guidance for presenting the lessons. It shows a reduced copy of the pupil's pages with the answer key beside the exercises. Answer keys are also included for the worksheets and text booklets.
