Our third-grade reading and writing program uses Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA), 3rd Edition, to build strong readers, writers, and critical thinkers through content-rich, standards-based instruction in vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, and writing.
Throughout the year, students explore nine engaging units:
Classic Tales
Animal Classification
Poetry, Ancient Rome
The Human Body: Systems and Senses
Native Americans
The Solar System
Stella Diaz Novel Study
American Jazz
This knowledge-building approach helps students grow into confident, capable readers and writers.
