Curriculum Overview
In third grade, increased emphasis is placed on vocabulary acquisition, comprehension strategies, text analysis, language conventions, and types of writing. Third-grade students learn to use context as a way to connect texts and experiences. They learn to refer to information in the text when asking and answering questions about texts they have read. They apply analysis strategies to determine the theme or central message of text. They learn about subject and verb agreement and verb tenses and use that knowledge to write and speak in correct, complete sentences. As students learn more English language conventions and acquire new vocabulary, they practice them in their writing assignments.
