Our third-grade reading program, Open Court Reading, provides students with systematic instruction and practice in phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and writing. Students read a variety of fiction and nonfiction texts while developing the skills needed to meet grade-level standards.

The resources listed below are additional practice materials. They are not part of the Open Court Reading program, but they align with third-grade reading standards and can help students strengthen their reading skills at home.

Families can support reading development by having children read regularly, discuss what they read, explain their thinking, learn new vocabulary, and use evidence from the text when answering questions. Thank you for partnering with me to encourage a love of reading and continued growth!
