CAPS subject guide

Afrikaans: make the next step clearer.

Choose a grade and topic for an explanation, a related question and focused practice. This guide lists common topic areas by phase; it is not an exhaustive textbook.

Afrikaans across the CAPS phases.

Choose the learner's school grade. The listed topics describe Kwazi's current map; an adult should check explanations against the teacher's materials.

Foundation phase

Grades R–3

Kwazi's topic map does not list Afrikaans for Grades R–3. This guide does not claim coverage of that phase. Follow the school's subject and language choices and explore theFoundation phase subjects in Kwazi's map.

Intermediate phase

Grades 4–6

An adult can ask Kwazi to explain vocabulary, a reading passage or a short writing task in Afrikaans. Match the example to the learner's language level and compare it with the teacher's materials.

  • Leesbegrip
  • Woordeskat
  • Skryf

Senior phase

Grades 7–9

Discuss leesbegrip, opsommings, taalstrukture and opstelle with Kwazi. Ask for an example sentence and check the explanation against the passage and the class language rules.

  • Leesbegrip
  • Opsomming
  • Taalstrukture
  • Opstel

FET phase

Grades 10–12

Ask Kwazi to explain a comprehension or language question, plan writing or discuss letterkunde. Keep the prescribed text available and review the response against the teacher's guidance.

  • Leesbegrip
  • Opsomming
  • Taalstrukture
  • Opstel
  • Letterkunde

Ask for the method, then check understanding.

Graad 9 Afrikaans: verduidelik die verskil tussen die onderwerp en die werkwoord in ’n sin, met ’n voorbeeld.

Use a synthetic or anonymised question. Compare the explanation with your teacher’s method and textbook. AI can make mistakes; Kwazi’s safety and format checks do not guarantee every answer is correct.

Follow the topic through

Use a follow-up to ask for a smaller explanation or a harder question on the same topic. The lesson carries the earlier question and explanation into that request. Progress records activity by subject and day.
