READING In third grade, reading instruction is at the individual student’s level through one-on-one or small group instruction. Students are also required to read at least 20 minutes every night. All students are required to read twenty-five chapter books during the school year. Children need to read regularly in order to improve their comprehension skills and fluency/reading rate.

WRITING This year we will express our thoughts and feeling through our writing. Third grade strives to incorporate writing across the curriculum in all subject areas. Examples: Reports, Special Projects, PowerPoint’s, etc. Students will be writing friendly letters to there friends in other classes at Garden City School through the Wee-Deliver program. We will use the six traits writing model and work on the process of writing including brainstorming, organization, rough draft, editing, revising, and peer feed back.
