Selinsgrove Area Intermediate School
Third Grade
Reading
Third grade students learn more sophisticated skills with regard to vocabulary development, comprehension, oral reading, and dictionary and library skills. More detail in the use of such things as possessives, plurals, prefixes and suffixes is stressed. Multiple and parallel meanings of words are studied, as is the use of graphs and diagrams in following directions. The child explores a variety of literature and is encouraged to read chapter books, poetry, and factual material in addition to the material in the basal.
