What Grade 3 Students Learn

Third grade reading comprehension shifts from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." Students identify main ideas, determine word meanings from context, and distinguish their own point of view from the author's (CCSS RI.3.1-9). Our passages include both fiction and nonfiction with questions targeting inference, text evidence, and vocabulary.
