English Language Arts

Sustained Reading 20 Minutes a Day

  1. Help you student find a book they are interested in reading

  2. Be sure the book is not too hard but not too easy

  3. Ask your child about the book they are reading:

  • What is the most interesting about the book? What character do you like the most and why? What do you think will happen next?

Practice reading aloud

Most third graders can read pretty smoothly, with both expression and understanding. But they may correct themselves or need help pronouncing words at times. Watch this video from Understood founding partner GreatSchools to find out what fluent reading sounds like at this age.

Fluency Target: 71 words per minute. To find your child's fluency score, subtract the number of errors from the total number of words to find the number of correct words.
