GetEpic is a wonderful resource for third grade. Thousands of books are provided online for our children to read!
Our third graders are learning to ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.
What are the major events that happen in the story?
What happens in the poem?
Who are the characters and how are the characters influenced by the major events?
What evidence (words, phrases, illustrations) from the text helps you know this?
What is the setting of the story?
What are the most important details?
Which details from the text can you point out that support your ideas?
