3rd Grade

Reading Unit

"In the third grade, children transition from learning to read to reading to learn. These upper elementary school learners immerse themselves in within-reach fiction books and expository nonfiction as they work on vocabulary development, envisionment, ascertaining main ideas, recognizing text infrastructure, and thinking critically. The final unit invites youngsters to treat texts like teachers as kids pore through information about animals. "

Writing Unit

"By third grade, many students are writing on full-sized notebook paper, allowing them to write longer and more fully. The first unit extends personal narrative writing, with a growing emphasis on drafting and revising. Unit 2 helps students synthesize and organize information for chapter books. In Unit 3, kids write persuasive pieces about meaningful causes. Children explore fiction-writing techniques by studying fairy tales in the final unit."
